+
+  ‣ Updates core multiprocX scheduling to use `selectors' Python library
+    to manage waiting on asynchronous socket readiness.  This is more
+    flexible because it adapts to the optimal support method for each OS
+    and allows a larger number of active sockets on MacOS (where select
+    is limited to 1024 descriptors).  Unfortunately, this does have a
+    small performance penalty.  Contributed by Grzegorz Banasiak.
+  ‣ Fixes Windows support by reverting issue 70.
+  ‣ Adds `ENOTCONN' as a send in-progress status for backoff.
+    Contributed by Grzegorz Banasiak.
+  ‣ Longer timeouts in test_HAConvention.py and test_manyActorSystems.py
+    to support Windows. Contributed by Grzegorz Banasiak.
+  ‣ Adds examples/socketstress.py as another means to perform
+    stress/load testing.  Contributed by Grzegorz Banasiak.
+  ‣ Updates to test_runcommand.py to support Windows and skip
+    test_actorSignals on the same platform since it does not support
+    POSIX signals. Contributed by Grzegorz Banasiak.
+  ‣ Added support for `THESPIAN_MAX_PENDING_TRANSMITS',
+    `THESPIAN_MAX_QUEUED_TRANSMITS',
+    `THESPIAN_QUEUED_TRANSMIT_UNBLOCK_THRESHOLD',
+    `THESPIAN_DROP_TRANSMITS_LEVEL', and
+    `THESPIAN_TRANSMIT_TIMEOUT_MINUTES' environment variables on
+    `ActorSystem' startup. See [Configuration Environment Variables] in
+    "Using Thespian" for details.
+  ‣ Updates to `diagnose.py' for better Windows support and additional
+    TCP socket information.
