Having multiple paragraphs in a few news entry lead to inconsistent spacing while rendered in HTML by mixing "visually compact lists" (when no entry of the whole list contains multiple paragraphs) and "sparse lists" (when at least one do).

``gc.freeze()`` is a new API that allows for moving all objects currently
|
|
tracked by the garbage collector to a permanent generation, effectively
|
|
removing them from future collection events. This can be used to protect
|
|
those objects from having their PyGC_Head mutated. In effect, this enables
|
|
great copy-on-write stability at fork().

Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser.
|
|
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
|
|
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. Passing a full file
|
|
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
|
|
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.

Rename IDLE's module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. The
|
|
original module-level class and method browser became a module browser, with
|
|
the addition of module-level functions, years ago. Nested classes and
|
|
functions were added yesterday. For back-compatibility, the virtual event
|
|
<<open-class-browser>>, which appears on the Keys tab of the Settings
|
|
dialog, is not changed. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.

Local Storage (TLS) API to CPython which would supersede use of the existing

TLS API within the CPython interpreter, while deprecating the existing API.
