-*intentionally backwards incompatible* Python release.  There are more
-changes than in a typical release, and more that are important for all
-Python users.  Nevertheless, after digesting the changes, you'll find
+*intentionally backwards incompatible* Python release. Python 3.0 was released on 3 Dec 2008.


I think that the date formatting should be (somewhat) consistent, at least for the whatsnew pages changed in this PR. Looking at 3.9's whatsnew, it has it as 'October 5th, 2020', and 3.7 has it as 'June 27, 2018', so month, day, year seems like a good enough standard to go off in this case.

I agree with date formatting consistency. Made adjustments to all versions.

2.1 - 'made' changed to 'released' 2.3, 2.6, 3.2 - whitespace and punctuation adjusted. 2.5 - release date added. 3.0, 3.1, 3.10, 3.8, 3.9 - date format adjusted.

"release ... was released" doesn't scan terribly well. I don't think this line needs to change.

A

This change was made to retain consistency throughout the entire documentation among different versions. TBH, it is definitely not made on April 17, 2001 rather released.

Changing the text of a 21-year old whatsnew document purely for consistency seems iffy, I remain -1 on it.

A

Agree, this change is unnecessary

Similarly, double spacing was commonly used in documents in the past (and still is by some authors) -- see the remainder of What's New in Python 2.3 where . (full stop with two literal space characters) is used frequently. Please revert this change.

& also please revert where you've changed a double space to a single space in other documents (e.g. 3.0).

Reverted mentioned double space. 3.0 release date was added later because it was missing. But it's adjusted to double spacing now.
