These include:

- bpo-32726: Provide an additional, more modern macOS installer variant that
  supports macOS 10.9+ systems in 64-bit mode only. Upgrade the supplied
  third-party libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.2n and SQLite 3.22.0. The 10.9+
  installer now supplies its own private copy of Tcl/Tk 8.6.8.

- bpo-24414: Default macOS deployment target is now set by ``configure`` to
  the build system's OS version (as is done by Python 3), not ``10.4``;
  override with, for example, ``./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4``.

- bpo-19019: All 2.7 macOS installer variants now supply their own version
  of ``OpenSSL 1.0.2``; the Apple-supplied SSL libraries and root
  certificates are not longer used.  The ``Installer Certificate`` command
  in ``/Applications/Python 2.7`` may be used to download and install a
  default set of root certificates from the third-party ``certifi`` package.

- bpo-11485: python.org macOS Pythons no longer supply a default SDK value
  (e.g. ``-isysroot /``) or specific compiler version default (e.g.
  ``gcc-4.2``) when building extension modules.  Use ``CC``, ``SDKROOT``,
  and ``DEVELOPER_DIR`` environment variables to override compilers or to
  use an SDK.  See Apple's ``xcrun`` man page for more info.

- prepare for pending Apple removal of 32-bit support in future macOS release

glibc is deprecating libcrypt in favor of libxcrypt, however python assumes
that crypt.h will always be included. This change makes the header inclusion
explicit when libxcrypt is present on the system.

Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field.  If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.

Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().

This fixes a faulty backport to the Python 2.7 branch only of http://bugs.python.org/issue28032. Details in the bpo-29766.

Don't rebuild generated files based on file modification time
anymore, the action is now explicit. Replace "make touch"
with "make regen-all".

Changes:

* Remove "make touch", Tools/hg/hgtouch.py and .hgtouch
* Add a new "make regen-all" command to rebuild all generated files
* Add subcommands to only generate specific files:

  - regen-ast: Include/Python-ast.h and Python/Python-ast.c
  - regen-grammar: Include/graminit.h and Python/graminit.c
  - regen-opcode-targets: Python/opcode_targets.h

* Add PYTHON_FOR_REGEN variable
* pgen is now only built by by "make regen-grammar"
* Add $(srcdir)/ prefix to paths to source files to handle correctly
  compilation outside the source directory

Don't test if .git/HEAD file exists, but only if the .git file (or
directory) exists.

Based on commit 5c4b0d063aba0a68c325073f5f312a2c9f40d178 by Ned
Deily, which is based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve
Dower.

Remove also the private _Py_svnversion() function and SVNVERSION
variable.

Note: Py_SubversionRevision() and Py_SubversionShortBranch() are
unchanged, they are part of the public API.
