and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.

  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
  and many ideas.

- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
  non-contiguous arrays.

- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.

dict anymore if the key is present. Reject also non-string qualified names.
And fix reference leaks in type.__new__().

str.title(). Compute correctly how much memory is required for the test
(memuse).

 * Decode thousands separator and decimal point using PyUnicode_DecodeLocale()
   (from the locale encoding), instead of decoding them implicitly from latin1
 * Remove _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGroupingLocale(), it was not used
 * Change _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping() API to return the maximum
   character if unicode is NULL
 * Replace MIN/MAX macros by Py_MIN/Py_MAX
 * stringlib/undef.h undefines STRINGLIB_IS_UNICODE
 * stringlib/localeutil.h only supports Unicode

logging: Added locking in flush() and close() handler methods. Thanks to Fayaz Yusuf Khan for the suggestion.
