 - Issue #5203: Fixed ctypes segfaults when passing a unicode string to a
   function without argtypes (only occurs if HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T is false).
 
+- Issue #3321: _multiprocessing.Connection() doesn't check handle; added checks
+  for *nix machines for negative handles and large int handles. Without this check
+  it is possible to segfault the interpreter.
+
+- Issue #4449: AssertionError in mp_benchmarks.py, caused by an underlying issue
+  in sharedctypes.py.

 - Issue #3386: distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib prefix argument was ignored
   under NT and OS2. Patch by Philip Jenvey.
