I don't think the NEWS changes are that important to copy either. None of the changes I made outside of whatsnew are substantive, they were either adding or fixing version tags, fixing formatting, or fixing typos or other copy-edit type things. At least, I can't remember anything that was substantive :) Oh, there was one thing that might be worth cherry picking: the change to the email docs. The new EmailMessage class was documented as being in the wrong module. But even that isn't a big deal, since it's a provisional class, and as Georg said most people read the online docs anyway, since they get the ongoing updates between releases. --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
