* bpo-20928: bring elementtree's XInclude support en-par with the implementation in lxml by adding support for recursive includes and a base-URL.
* bpo-20928: Support xincluding the same file multiple times, just not recursively.
* bpo-20928: Add 'max_depth' parameter to xinclude that limits the maximum recursion depth to 6 by default.
* Add news entry for updated ElementInclude support
Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
* Implement C14N 2.0 as a new canonicalize() function in ElementTree.
Missing features:
- prefix renaming in XPath expressions (tag and attribute text is supported)
- preservation of original prefixes given redundant namespace declarations
* bpo-36673: Implement comment/PI parsing support for the TreeBuilder in ElementTree.
* bpo-36673: Rewrite the comment/PI factory handling for the TreeBuilder in "_elementtree" to make it use the same factories as the ElementTree module, and to make it explicit when the comments/PIs are inserted into the tree and when they are not (which is the default).
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
Fix xml.dom.minidom cloneNode() on a document with an entity: pass
the correct arguments to the user data handler of an entity (fix an
old copy/paste mistake).
Bug spotted and fix proposed by Charalampos Stratakis, initial
reproducer written by Petr Viktorin.

It is now guarantied that children of xml.etree.ElementTree.Element
are Elements (at least in C implementation). Previously methods
__setitem__(), __setstate__() and __deepcopy__() could be used for
adding non-Element children.
