Heads up! This is a courtesy reminder from your friendly 3.4 and 3.5 release manager. Here's a list of all the changes since 3.5.2rc1 that are currently going into 3.5.2 final:

- cae0b7ffeb9f - Benjamin: fix % in Doc/whatsnew/3.5.rst that confuses latex

- <new revision> - Matthias: fix for test_ssl test_options on Ubuntu
3.4.5 final only has one change from 3.4.5rc1: the test_ssl test_options fix from Matthias.
I presume we are talking about the patch pasted at <https://bugs.python.org/issue26867#msg268425>.
From what I can tell, it will make the test a bit less strict on all platforms, by not checking that OP_NO_SSLv3 can be cleared. There is another flag for SSLv2, but I don’t think that is relevant. And I don’t think it will break the test on other platforms that can enable SSLv3; it just winds the scope of the test back a little bit.
