    - Issue #27870: A left shift of zero by a large integer no longer attempts
      to allocate large amounts of memory.
    - Issue #25604: Fix a minor bug in integer true division; this bug could
      potentially have caused off-by-one-ulp results on platforms with
      unreliable ldexp implementations.
    - Issue #27861: Fixed a crash in sqlite3.Connection.cursor() when a factory
      creates not a cursor.
    - Issue #10513: Fix a regression in Connection.commit().  Statements should
      not be reset after a commit.
    - Issue #2466: posixpath.ismount now correctly recognizes mount points which
      the user does not have permission to access.
    - Issue #27783: Fix possible usage of uninitialized memory in
      operator.methodcaller.

    - In the curses module, raise an error if window.getstr() or window.instr()
      is passed a negative value.
    - Issue #27758: Fix possible integer overflow in the _csv module for large
      record lengths.
    - Issue #23369: Fixed possible integer overflow in
      _json.encode_basestring_ascii.
    - Issue #27714: text_textview and test_autocomplete now pass when re-run
      in the same process.  This occurs when test_idle fails when run with the
      -w option but without -jn.  Fix warning from test_config.
    - Issue #27452: add line counter and crc to IDLE configHandler test dump.
