Jim Jewett added the comment: In general, the rule is that micro versions (such as 3.4.4 to 3.4.5) should not make any changes that are not clearly bug fixes. If users would call the new API (or ABI) differently, it is almost certainly a change that should be reserved for a development release (3.4 to 3.5).
That said, the two main reasons for exceptions are security (not an automatic OK, but at least not an automatic NO) and "no one could possibly rely on the old behavior", which covers "this wouldn't even compile on this platform before". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
