The "What's New in 3.7" document is still not complete. Actually it is far completing. In the previous releases somebody made a thoughtful review of the NEWS file and added all significant changes in What's New, and also removed insignificant entries, reorganized entries, fixed errors, improved wording and formatting. Many thanks to Martin Panter, Elvis Pranskevichus, Yury Selivanov, R. David Murray, Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou, Victor Stinner and others for their great work! But seems in 3.7 this documents doesn't have an editor.

Maybe we should start thinking about flagging PRs or issues as needing a What's New entry to help track when they need one, or always expect it in a PR and ignore that requirement when a 'skip whats new' label is applied. That would at least make it easier to keep track of what needs to be done. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
