Log message:
lang/python*: Use libreadline unconditionally.

libedit breaks some applications.  Maybe we can fix it later but for
now let's just go back to using libreadline unconditionally like we
did before.

PKGREVISION++ because this materially affects the build product -- it
built before this change but didn't work right for some applications.
(No change to platforms without libedit -- which is most non-NetBSD
platforms, probably -- but we don't have per-platform PKGREVISION, so
gotta bump it for everyone.)

No change to 2.7, 3.9, or 3.10 because they already use libreadline
unconditionally; respecting READLINE_TYPE is a new change in >=3.11
since April which broke applications.

gh-126565: Improve performances of zipfile.Path.open() for non-reading modes.

gh-126505: Fix bugs in compiling case-insensitive regular expressions with \ 
character classes containing non-BMP characters: upper-case non-BMP character \

whose upper bound is beyond the BMP region.

gh-117378: Fixed the multiprocessing "forkserver" start method \ 
forkserver process to correctly inherit the parent’s sys.path during the \ 
importing of multiprocessing.set_forkserver_preload() modules in the same manner \ 
as sys.path is configured in workers before executing work items.

This bug caused some forkserver module preloading to silently fail to preload. \ 
This manifested as a performance degration in child processes when the sys.path \ 
was required due to additional repeated work in every worker.

It could also have a side effect of "" remaining in sys.path during \ 
forkserver preload imports instead of the absolute path from os.getcwd() at \ 
multiprocessing import time used in the worker sys.path.

The sys.path differences between phases in the child process could potentially \ 
have caused preload to import incorrect things from the wrong location. We are \ 
unaware of that actually having happened in practice.

gh-125679: The multiprocessing.Lock and multiprocessing.RLock repr values no \ 
longer say “unknown” on macOS.

the same object with a non-None context. Patch by Nico Posada.

gh-125254: Fix a bug where ArgumentError includes the incorrect ambiguous option \ 
in argparse.

gh-61011: Fix inheritance of nested mutually exclusive groups from parent parser \ 
in argparse.ArgumentParser. Previously, all nested mutually exclusive groups \ 
lost their connection to the group containing them and were displayed as \ 
belonging directly to the parser.

gh-52551: Fix encoding issues in time.strftime(), the strftime() method of the \ 
datetime classes datetime, date and time and formatting of these classes. \ 
Characters not encodable in the current locale are now acceptable in the format \ 
string. Surrogate pairs and sequence of surrogatescape-encoded bytes are no \ 
longer recombinated. Embedded null character no longer terminates the format \ 
string.

gh-125118: Don’t copy arbitrary values to _Bool in the struct module.

gh-125069: Fix an issue where providing a pathlib.PurePath object as an \

resulted in arguments to the former object’s initializer being joined by the \ 
latter object’s flavour.

Bartosz Sławecki.

gh-120378: Fix a crash related to an integer overflow in curses.resizeterm() and \ 
curses.resize_term().

gh-123884: Fixed bug in itertools.tee() handling of other tee inputs (a tee in a \ 
tee). The output now has the promised n independent new iterators. Formerly, the \ 
first iterator was identical (not independent) to the input iterator. This would \ 
sometimes give surprising results.

gh-123978: Remove broken time.thread_time() and time.thread_time_ns() on NetBSD.

gh-124008: Fix possible crash (in debug build), incorrect output or returning \ 
incorrect value from raw binary write() when writing to console on Windows.

gh-123370: Fix the canvas not clearing after running turtledemo clock.

gh-120754: Update unbounded read calls in zipfile to specify an explicit size \ 
putting a limit on how much data they may read. This also updates handling \ 
around ZIP max comment size to match the standard instead of reading comments \ 
that are one byte too long.

gh-70764: Fixed an issue where inspect.getclosurevars() would incorrectly \ 
classify an attribute name as a global variable when the name exists both as an \ 
attribute name and a global variable.

(path, module, and stack) on high-resolution monitors.

Documentation

gh-125277: Require Sphinx 7.2.6 or later to build the Python documentation. \ 
Patch by Adam Turner.
gh-125018: The importlib.metadata documentation now includes semantic \ 
cross-reference targets for the significant documented APIs. This means \ 
intersphinx references like importlib.metadata.version() will now work as \ 
expected.
gh-121277: Writers of CPython’s documentation can now use next as the version \ 
for the versionchanged, versionadded, deprecated directives.
gh-60712: Include the object type in the lists of documented types. Change by \ 
Furkan Onder and Martin Panter.
Core and Builtins
gh-113841: Fix possible undefined behavior division by zero in complex’s \ 
_Py_c_pow().

some other operating system mechanism is preventing the write to go through \ 
fully.

statement with an unknown future feature.
gh-125008: Fix tokenize.untokenize() producing invalid syntax for double braces \ 
preceded by certain escape characters.
gh-123378: Fix a crash in the __str__() method of UnicodeError objects when the \ 
UnicodeError.start and UnicodeError.end values are invalid or out-of-range. \ 
Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
gh-116510: Fix a crash caused by immortal interned strings being shared between \ 
sub-interpreters that use basic single-phase init. In that case, the string can \ 
be used by an interpreter that outlives the interpreter that created and \ 
interned it. For interpreters that share obmalloc state, also share the interned \ 
dict with the main interpreter.
gh-118950: Fix bug where SSLProtocol.connection_lost wasn’t getting called \ 
when OSError was thrown on writing to socket.
gh-113570: Fixed a bug in reprlib.repr where it incorrectly called the repr \ 
method on shadowed Python built-in types.
gh-109746: If _thread.start_new_thread() fails to start a new thread, it deletes \ 
its state from interpreter and thus avoids its repeated cleanup on finalization.

C API

gh-113601: Removed debug build assertions related to interning strings, which \ 
were falsely triggered by stable ABI extensions.

Build

gh-89640: Hard-code float word ordering as little endian on WASM.
