• gh-110152 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110152]: Remove Tools/scripts/run_tests.py and make hostrunnertest. Just run ./python -m test --slow-ci, make buildbottest or make test instead. Python test runner (regrtest) now handles cross-compilation and HOSTRUNNER. It also adds options to Python such fast -u -E -W default -bb when --fast-ci or --slow-ci option is used. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-110031 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110031]: Skip test_threading tests using thread+fork if Python is built with Address Sanitizer (ASAN). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-110088 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110088]: Fix test_asyncio timeouts: don't measure the maximum duration, a test should not measure a CI performance.

• gh-109566 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109566]: regrtest: When --fast-ci or --slow-ci option is used, regrtest now replaces the current process with a new process to add -u -W default -bb -E options to Python. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109748 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109748]: Fix test_zippath_from_non_installed_posix() of testvenv: don't copy \_pycache__/ subdirectories, because they can be modified by other Python tests running in parallel. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109739 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109739]: regrtest: Fix reference leak check on Windows. Disable the load tracker on Windows in the reference leak check mode (-R option). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109276 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109276]: regrtest: When a test fails with "env changed" and the —rerun option is used, the test is now re-run in verbose mode in a fresh process. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-103053 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103053]: Skip test_freezesimplescript() of test_tools.test_freeze if Python is built with ./configure --enable-optimizations, which means with Profile Guided Optimization (PGO): it just makes the test too slow. The freeze tool is tested by many other CIs with other (faster) compiler flags. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109580 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109580]: Skip test_perf_profiler if Python is built with ASAN, MSAN or UBSAN sanitizer. Python does crash randomly in this test on such build. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109566 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109566]: regrtest: Add --fast-ci and --slow-ci options. --fast-ci uses a default timeout of 10 minutes and -u all,-cpu (skip slowest tests). --slow-ci uses a default timeout of 20 minutes and -u all (run all tests). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109425 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109425]: libregrtest now decodes stdout of test worker processes with the "backslashreplace" error handler to log corrupted stdout, instead of failing with an error and not logging the stdout. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109396 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109396]: Fix test_socket.test_hmac_sha1() in FIPS mode. Use a longer key: FIPS mode requires at least of at least 112 bits. The previous key was only 32 bits. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-104736 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/104736]: Fix test_gdb on Python built with LLVM clang 16 on Linux ppc64le (ex: Fedora 38). Search patterns in gdb "bt" command output to detect when gdb fails to retrieve the traceback. For example, skip a test if Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC is found. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109276 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109276]: libregrtest now calls random.seed() before running each test file when -r/--randomize command line option is used. Moreover, it's also called in worker processes. It should help to make tests more deterministic. Previously, it was only called once in the main process before running all test files and it was not called in worker processes. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109276 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109276]: libregrtest now uses a separated file descriptor to write test result as JSON. Previously, if a test wrote debug messages late around the JSON, the main test process failed to parse JSON. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108996 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108996]: Fix and enable test_msvcrt.

• gh-109237 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109237]: Fix test_site.test_underpth_basic() when the working directory contains at least one nonASCII character: encode the ._pth file to UTF-8 and enable the UTF-8 Mode to use UTF-8 for the child process stdout. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109230 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109230]: Fix test_pyexpat.test_exception(): it can now be run from a directory different than Python source code directory. Before, the test failed in this case. Skip the test if Modules/pyexpat.c source is not available. Skip also the test on Python implementations other than CPython. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108996 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108996]: Add tests for msvcrt.

• gh-109015 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109015]: Fix test_asyncio, test_imaplib and test_socket tests on FreeBSD if the TCP blackhole is enabled (sysctl net.inet.tcp.blackhole). Skip the few tests which failed with ETIMEDOUT which such non standard configuration. Currently, the FreeBSD GCP image enables TCP and UDP blackhole [https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41751] (sysctl net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2 and sysctl net.inet.udp.blackhole=1). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-91960 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91960]: Skip test_gdb if gdb is unable to retrieve Python frame objects: if a frame is . When Python is built with "clang -Og", gdb can fail to retrieve the frame parameter of PyEvalEvalFrameDefault(). In this case, tests like py_bt() are likely to fail. Without getting access to Python frames, python-gdb.py is mostly clueless on retrieving the Python traceback. Moreover, test_gdb is no longer skipped on macOS if Python is built with Clang. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108962 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108962]: Skip test_tempfile.test_flags() if chflags() fails with "OSError: [Errno 45] Operation not supported" (ex: on FreeBSD 13). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108834 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108834]: Add --fail-rerun option option to regrtest: if a test failed when then passed when rerun in verbose mode, exit the process with exit code 2 (error), instead of exit code 0 (success). Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108834 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108834]: Rename regrtest --verbose2 option (-w) to --rerun. Keep --verbose2 as a deprecated alias. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108834 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108834]: When regrtest reruns failed tests in verbose mode (./python -m test --rerun), tests are now rerun in fresh worker processes rather than being executed in the main process. If a test does crash or is killed by a timeout, the main process can detect and handle the killed worker process. Tests are rerun in parallel if the -jN option is used to run tests in parallel. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108822 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108822]: regrtest now computes statistics on all tests: successes, failures and skipped. test_netrc, test_pep646_syntax and test_xml_etree now return results in their test_main() function. Patch by Victor Stinner and Alex Waygood.

• gh-108794 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108794]: The doctest.DocTestRunner.run() method now counts the number of skipped tests. Add doctest.DocTestRunner.skips and doctest.TestResults.skipped attributes. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108388 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108388]: Split test_multiprocessing_fork, test_multiprocessing_forkserver and test_multiprocessing_spawn into test packages. Each package is made of 4 subtests: processes, threads, manager and misc. It allows running more tests in parallel and so reduce the total test duration. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-105776 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/105776]: Fix test_cppext when the C compiler command -std=c11 option: remove -std= options from the compiler command. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-109054 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/109054]: Fix building the _testcapi extension on Linux AArch64 which requires linking to libatomic when is used: the Pyatomic_or_uint64() function requires libatomic __atomic_fetch_or_8() on this platform. The configure script now checks if linking to libatomic is needed and generates a new LIBATOMIC variable used to build the _testcapi extension. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-63760 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/63760]: Fix Solaris build: no longer redefine the gethostname() function. Solaris defines the function since 2005. Patch by Victor Stinner, original patch by Jakub Kulík.

• gh-108740 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108740]: Fix a race condition in make regen-all. The deepfreeze.c source and files generated by Argument Clinic are now generated or updated before generating "global objects". Previously, some identifiers may miss depending on the order in which these files were generated. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-108634 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108634]: Python built with configure --with-trace-refs (tracing references) is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build. Patch by Victor Stinner.

• gh-104692 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/104692]: Include commoninstall as a prerequisite for bininstall

This ensures that commoninstall is completed before bininstall is started when parallel builds are used (make -j install), and so the python3 symlink is only installed after all standard library modules are installed.

• gh-101538 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/101538]: Add experimental wasi-threads support. Patch by Takashi Yamamoto.

Windows

• gh-105146 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/105146]: Updated the links at the end of the installer to point to Discourse rather than the mailing lists.

• gh-103646 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103646]: When installed from the Microsoft Store, pip no longer defaults to per-user installs. However, as the install directory is unwritable, it should automatically decide to do a per-user install anyway. This should resolve issues when pip is passed an option that conflicts with --user.

• gh-88745 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88745]: Improve performance of shutil.copy2() by using the operating system's CopyFile2 function. This may result in subtle changes to metadata copied along with some files, bringing them in line with normal OS behavior.

• gh-106970 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106970]: Fix bugs in the Argument Clinic destination clear command; the destination buffers would never be cleared, and the destination directive parser would simply continue to the fault handler after processing the command. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland.

• gh-106706 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106706]: Change bytecode syntax for families to remove redundant name matching pseudo syntax.

• gh-106359 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106359]: Argument Clinic now explicitly forbids "kwarg splats" in function calls used as annotations.

• gh-103186 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103186]: freeze now fetches CONFIG_ARGS from the original CPython instance the Makefile uses to call utility scripts. Patch by Ijtaba Hussain.

• gh-95065 [https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95065]: It is now possible to deprecate passing parameters positionally with Argument Clinic, using the new * [from X.Y] syntax. (To be read as "keyword-only from Python version X.Y".) See documentation in the Python Developer's Guide [https://devguide.python.org/development-tools/clinic/#clinic-howto-deprecate-positional] for more information. Patch by Erlend E. Aasland with help from Alex Waygood, Nikita Sobolev, and Serhiy Storchaka.
