+A new :meth:`~os.scandir.close` method allows explicitly closing a
+:func:`~os.scandir` iterator. The :func:`~os.scandir` iterator now
+supports the :term:`context manager` protocol. If a :func:`scandir`
+iterator is neither exhausted nor explicitly closed a :exc:`ResourceWarning`
+will be emitted in its destructor.
