+What's New in Python 2.7.12?
+============================
+
+*Release date: XXXX-XX-XX*
+
+Core and Builtins
+-----------------
+
+- Issue #25702: A --with-lto configure option has been added that will
+ enable link time optimizations at build time during a make profile-opt.
+ Some compilers and toolchains are known to not produce stable code when
+ using LTO, be sure to test things thoroughly before relying on it.
+ It can provide a few % speed up over profile-opt alone.
+
+- Issue #26168: Fixed possible refleaks in failing Py_BuildValue() with the "N"
+ format unit.
+
+- Issue #27039: Fixed bytearray.remove() for values greater than 127. Patch by
+ Joe Jevnik.
+
+- Issue #4806: Avoid masking the original TypeError exception when using star
+ (*) unpacking and the exception was raised from a generator. Based on
+ patch by Hagen Fürstenau.
+
+- Issue #26659: Make the builtin slice type support cycle collection.
+
+- Issue #26718: super.__init__ no longer leaks memory if called multiple times.
+ NOTE: A direct call of super.__init__ is not endorsed!
+
+- Issue #13410: Fixed a bug in PyUnicode_Format where it failed to properly
+ ignore errors from a __int__() method.
+
+- Issue #26494: Fixed crash on iterating exhausting iterators.
+ Affected classes are generic sequence iterators, iterators of bytearray,
+ list, tuple, set, frozenset, dict, OrderedDict and corresponding views.
+
+- Issue #26581: If coding cookie is specified multiple times on a line in
+ Python source code file, only the first one is taken to account.
+
+- Issue #22836: Ensure exception reports from PyErr_Display() and
+ PyErr_WriteUnraisable() are sensible even when formatting them produces
+ secondary errors. This affects the reports produced by
+ sys.__excepthook__() and when __del__() raises an exception.
+
+- Issue #22847: Improve method cache efficiency.
+
+- Issue #25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal
+ but have a different types. For example, ``f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0``
+ is now correctly compiled to two different functions: ``f1()`` returns ``1``
+ (``int``) and ``f2()`` returns ``1.0`` (``int``), even if ``1`` and ``1.0``
+ are equal.
+
+- Issue #22995: [UPDATE] Remove the one of the pickleability tests in
+ _PyObject_GetState() due to regressions observed in Cython-based projects.
+
+- Issue #25961: Disallowed null characters in the type name.
+
+- Issue #22995: Instances of extension types with a state that aren't
+ subclasses of list or dict and haven't implemented any pickle-related
+ methods (__reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __getnewargs__, __getnewargs_ex__,
+ or __getstate__), can no longer be pickled. Including memoryview.
+
+- Issue #20440: Massive replacing unsafe attribute setting code with special
+ macro Py_SETREF.
+
+- Issue #25421: __sizeof__ methods of builtin types now use dynamic basic size.
+ This allows sys.getsize() to work correctly with their subclasses with
+ __slots__ defined.
+
+- Issue #19543: Added Py3k warning for decoding unicode.
+
+- Issue #24097: Fixed crash in object.__reduce__() if slot name is freed inside
+ __getattr__.
+

+Profile Guided Optimization
+---------------------------
+
+PGO takes advantage of recent versions of the GCC or Clang compilers.
+If ran, the "profile-opt" rule will do several steps.
+
+First, the entire Python directory is cleaned of temporary files that
+may resulted in a previous compilation.
+
+Then, an instrumented version of the interpreter is built, using suitable
+compiler flags for each flavour. Note that this is just an intermediary
+step and the binary resulted after this step is not good for real life
+workloads, as it has profiling instructions embedded inside.
+
+After this instrumented version of the interpreter is built, the Makefile
+will automatically run a training workload. This is necessary in order to
+profile the interpreter execution. Note also that any output, both stdout
+and stderr, that may appear at this step is supressed.
+
+Finally, the last step is to rebuild the interpreter, using the information
+collected in the previous one. The end result will be a the Python binary
+that is optimized and suitable for distribution or production installation.
