New Modules
===========
-* None yet.
+* The new :mod:`importlib.metadata` module provides (provisional) support for
+ reading metadata from third-party packages. For example, you can extract an
+ installed package's version number, list of entry points, and more. See
+ :issue:`34632` for additional details.
