Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #21720: Improve exception message when the type of fromlist is unicode.
+ fromlist parameter of __import__() only accepts str in Python 2 and this
+ will help to identify the problem especially when the unicode_literals
+ future import is used.
+
- Issue #26906: Resolving special methods of uninitialized type now causes
implicit initialization of the type instead of a fail.
