  • Move deprecation notice to Whatsnew change list.
    • Add a note that __loader__ & __package__ are next. (These also link to relevant docs.)
  • Clarify references to __cached__ now that the term doesn't link to its docs.
  • Move the .. versionchanged from __file__ docs to the top level, and remove the historical .. deprecated-removed:: (fixes __cached__ deprecation notice under __file__ #145299).
  • Issue: update the import machinery to only use __spec__ #65961

Sorry, something went wrong.

These entries usually stay, they aren't removed. In older What's New entries the deprecation will now be missing.
