To be consistent with document layout, it should say when the feature was added.
Although it's mentioned few other places in the doc but it's not explicitly say that at that place.

* "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``"
if the function actually returns a bool.
* Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace).
* Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool.
* Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code.
* "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".
The documented definition was much broader than the real one:
there are tons of characters with general category "Other",
and we don't (and shouldn't) treat most of them as whitespace.
Rewrite the definition to agree with the comment on
_PyUnicode_IsWhitespace, and with the logic in makeunicodedata.py,
which is what generates that function and so ultimately governs.
Add suitable breadcrumbs so that a reader who wants to pin down
exactly what this definition means (what's a "bidirectional class"
of "B"?) can do so. The `unicodedata` module documentation is an
appropriate central place for our references to Unicode's own copious
documentation, so point there.
Also add to the isspace() test a thorough check that the
implementation agrees with the intended definition.
In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments
are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples:
open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().
By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only
checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding
argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.
* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.
Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.
The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation. This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

Mathematically, bitwise operations on integers behave as if there were an
infinite number of sign bits. Pragmatically, that gives the same answer as
using one extra sign bit for the bitwise logical operations.
