    • gh-144100: Fixed a crash in ctypes when using a deprecated POINTER(str) type in argtypes. Instead of aborting, ctypes now raises a proper Python exception when the pointer target type is unresolved.
    • gh-144050: Fix stat.filemode() in the pure-Python implementation to avoid misclassifying invalid mode values as block devices.
    • gh-144023: Fixed validation of file descriptor 0 in posix functions when used with follow_symlinks parameter.

    • gh-143706: Fix multiprocessing forkserver so that sys.argv is correctly set before main is preloaded. Previously, sys.argv was empty during main module import in forkserver child processes.

    • gh-142754: Add the ownerDocument attribute to xml.dom.minidom elements and attributes created by directly instantiating the Element or Attr class. Note that this way of creating nodes is not supported; creator functions like xml.dom.Document.documentElement() should be used instead.
    • gh-142784: The asyncio REPL now properly closes the loop upon the end of interactive session. Previously, it could cause surprising warnings. Contributed by Bartosz Slawecki.
    • gh-142555: array: fix a crash in a[i] = v when converting i to an index via i.index or i.float mutates the array.

    • gh-142495: collections.defaultdict now prioritizes setitem() when inserting default values from defaultfactory. This prevents race conditions where a default value would overwrite a value set before defaultfactory returns.
    • gh-142651: unittest.mock: fix a thread safety issue where Mock.call_count may return inaccurate values when the mock is called concurrently from multiple threads.
    • gh-142595: Added type check during initialization of the decimal module to prevent a crash in case of broken stdlib. Patch by Sergey B Kirpichev.
    • gh-142517: The non-compat32 email policies now correctly handle refolding encoded words that contain bytes that can not be decoded in their specified character set. Previously this resulted in an encoding exception during folding.

    • gh-105836: Fix asyncio.runcoroutinethreadsafe() leaving underlying cancelled asyncio task running.
    • gh-139971: pydoc: Ensure that the link to the online documentation of a stdlib module is correct.

    • gh-79986: Add parsing for References and In-Reply-To headers to the email library that parses the header content as lists of message id tokens. This prevents them from being folded incorrectly.
    • gh-109263: Starting a process from spawn context in multiprocessing no longer sets the start method globally.
    • gh-90871: Fixed an off by one error concerning the backlog parameter in createunixserver(). Contributed by Christian Harries.

    • gh-144307: Prevent a reference leak in module teardown at interpreter finalization.
    • gh-144194: Fix error handling in perf jitdump initialization on memory allocation failure.
    • gh-141805: Fix crash in set when objects with the same hash are concurrently added to the set after removing an element with the same hash while the set still contains elements with the same hash.
    • gh-143670: Fixes a crash in garepritems_list function.
    • gh-143377: Fix a crash in interpreters.captureexception() when the exception is incorrectly formatted. Patch by Benedikt Tran.
    • gh-143189: Fix crash when inserting a non-str key into a split table dictionary when the key matches an existing key in the split table but has no corresponding value in the dict.
    • gh-143228: Fix use-after-free in perf trampoline when toggling profiling while threads are running or during interpreter finalization with daemon threads active. The fix uses reference counting to ensure trampolines are not freed while any code object could still reference them. Pach by Pablo Galindo
    • gh-142664: Fix a use-after-free crash in memoryview.hash when the hash method of the referenced object mutates that object or the view. Patch by Benedikt Tran.
    • gh-142557: Fix a use-after-free crash in bytearray.mod when the bytearray is mutated while formatting the %-style arguments. Patch by Benedikt Tran.

    • gh-143135: Set sys.flags.inspect to 1 when PYTHONINSPECT is
      0. Previously, it was set to 0 in this case.
    • gh-143003: Fix an overflow of the shared empty buffer in bytearray.extend() when length_hint() returns 0 for non-empty iterator.

    • gh-142766: Clear the frame of a generator when generator.close() is called.
    • gh-142737: Tracebacks will be displayed in fallback mode even if io.open() is lost. Previously, this would crash the interpreter. Patch by Bartosz Slawecki.
    • gh-142554: Fix a crash in divmod() when pylong.intdivmod() does not return a tuple of length two exactly. Patch by Benedikt Tran.
    • gh-142560: Fix use-after-free in bytearray search-like methods (find(), count(), index(), rindex(), and rfind()) by marking the storage as exported which causes reallocation attempts to raise BufferError. For contains(), split(), and rsplit() the buffer protocol is used for this.
    • gh-142343: Fix SIGILL crash on m68k due to incorrect assembly constraint.
    • gh-141732: Ensure the repr() for ExceptionGroup and BaseExceptionGroup does not change when the exception sequence that was original passed in to its constructor is subsequently mutated.

  • C API

    • gh-142571: PyUnstable_CopyPerfMapFile() now checks that opening the file succeeded before flushing.

  • Build

    • gh-142454: When calculating the digest of the JIT stencils input, sort the hashed files by filenames before adding their content to the hasher. This ensures deterministic hash input and hence deterministic hash, independent on filesystem order.
    • gh-141808: When running make clean-retain-profile, keep the generated JIT stencils. That way, the stencils are not generated twice when Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is used. It also allows distributors to supply their own pre-built JIT stencils.
    • gh-138061: Ensure reproducible builds by making JIT stencil header generation deterministic.
