+Re-enable skipped tests for :mod:`zlib` on the s390x architecture: only skip
+checks of the compressed bytes, which can be different between zlib's
+software implementation and the hardware-accelerated implementation.

+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.

+Changed IPv4-mapped ``ipaddress.IPv6Address`` to consistently use the mapped
+IPv4 address value for deciding properties. Properties which have their
+behavior fixed are ``is_multicast``, ``is_reserved``, ``is_link_local``,
+``is_global``, and ``is_unspecified``.

+
+Clarified the conflicting advice given in the :mod:`ast` documentation about
+:func:`ast.literal_eval` being "safe" for use on untrusted input while at
+the same time warning that it can crash the process. The latter statement is
+true and is deemed unfixable without a large amount of work unsuitable for a
+bugfix. So we keep the warning and no longer claim that ``literal_eval`` is
+safe.
