3.6.1: 2019-12-10 Christmas Hannukah
====================================
Overall, as in the past, the focus has been on just fixing bugs, more geared
in the later 3.x range. Handling "async for/with" in 3.8+ works better.
Numerous bugs around handling `lambda` with keyword-only and `*` args in the
3.0-3.8 have been fixed. However many still remain.
`binary_expr` and `unary_expr` have been renamed to `bin_op` and
`unary_op` to better correspond the Python AST names.
Some work was done Python 3.7+ to handle `and` better; less was done
along the lines of handling `or`. Much more is needed to improve
parsing stability of 3.7+. More of what was done with `and` needs to
be done with `or` and this will happen first in the "decompyle3"
project.
Later this will probably be extended backwards to handle the 3.6-
versions better. This however comes with a big decompilation speed
penalty. When we redo control flow this should go back to normal, but
for now, accuracy is more important than speed.
Another `assert` transform rule was added. Parser rules to distingish
`try/finally` in 3.8 were added and we are more stringent about what
can be turned into an `assert`. There was some grammar cleanup here
too.
A number of small bugs were fixed, and some administrative changes to
make `make check-short` really be short, but check more throughly what
it checks. See the `ChangeLog` for details.
