These had a docs-only deprecation notice since the first version of the docs in this repo. Nowadays we call things “soft deprecated” if there's just a note in the docs.
The deprecated directive needs a version, I went with the first one that had the notice (2.0; it's not in 1.6):
- https://docs.python.org/release/2.0/api/memoryInterface.html
- https://docs.python.org/release/1.6/api/memoryInterface.html
Since PEP 445, they are now direct aliases; there are no (additional) binary compatibility concerns over the preferred names.
Previously, negative timestamps (representing dates before 1970-01-01) were
not supported on Windows due to platform limitations. The changes introduce a
fallback implementation using the Windows FILETIME API, allowing negative
timestamps to be correctly handled in both UTC and local time conversions.
Additionally, related test code is updated to remove Windows-specific skips
and error handling, ensuring consistent behavior across platforms.

Add the unicodedata.iter_graphemes() function to iterate over grapheme
clusters according to rules defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29.
Add unicodedata.grapheme_cluster_break(), unicodedata.indic_conjunct_break()
and unicodedata.extended_pictographic() functions to get the properties
of the character which are related to the above algorithm.

Writing out an object may involve a slot lookup, which is not safe to do with
an exception raised. In debug mode an assertion failure will occur if this
happens.
gh-141004: Document old provisional names for vectorcall & code API
For vectorcall API, the underscore-prefixed provisional names
continue to be available per PEP 590:
https://peps.python.org/pep-0590/#finalizing-the-api
Use `versionadded`, `versionchanged`, and `:no-typesetting:`
to mark this up.
For PyCode API, use `:no-typesetting:` rather than `index::` so that
these are semantically documented as C functions.
The behaviour of Cut in nested parentheses, Repeat, Opt, and similar
is somewhat chaotic. Apparently even the academic papers on PEG aren't
as clear as they could be.
And it doesn't really matter. Python only uses top-level cuts.
When that changes, we can clarify as much as necessary (and even
change the implementation to make sense for what we'll need).
Document that this is deliberately unspecified, and add a test to
make sure any decision is deliberate, tested and documented.
Speed up conversion from `bytes-like` objects like `bytearray` while
keeping conversion from `bytes` stable.

The forkserver was not passing sys.argv to its main() function, causing
sys.argv to be empty during `__main__` module import in child processes. This
fixes a non-obvious regression inadvertently introduced by the gh-126631 main
preloading fix.
Without this, OpenSSL that we use to download external dependencies might use a stale certificate store and be unable to connect to servers. We need to use a Windows-specific HTTP client that uses CryptoAPI directly to trigger certificate updates.
We only do it on failure to avoid hitting servers twice. And we only do it once per each URL.
The internal encoder object returned by undocumented function
json.encoder.c_make_encoder() (aka _json.make_encoder()) crashed
when it was called with non-zero second argument.
