[New-bugs-announce] [issue41841] idlelib/NEWS.txt for 3.10.0 and backports

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

Master became 3.10 as of 3.9.0 beta 1: Monday, 2020-05-18.
However, backported IDLE issues continued going under What's New 3.9
on both master and 3.9 until 3.9.0rc1, Tuesday, 2020-08-11.
Subsequent merges go under
What's New 3.10.0 on master
What's New 3.9.1 on 3.9

In other words, News is handled as if master were still branched off as of .0rc1.  This is different from the changelog attached to What's New in 3.x.

Release peps -- needed for proposed and actual release dates.
3.8 PEP 569 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/
3.9 PEP 596 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0596/
3.10 PEP 619 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0619/
