New and Improved Modules
========================
+abc
+---
+
+Improved support for abstract base classes containing descriptors composed with
+abstract methods. The recommended approach to declaring abstract descriptors is
+now to provide :attr:`__isabstractmethod__` as a dynamically updated
+property. The built-in descriptors have been updated accordingly.
+
+ * :class:`abc.abstractproperty` has been deprecated, use :class:`property`
+ with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
+ * :class:`abc.abstractclassmethod` has been deprecated, use
+ :class:`classmethod` with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
+ * :class:`abc.abstractstaticmethod` has been deprecated, use
+ :class:`staticmethod` with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
