Yes, I think we should get it done by b1. For some reason it never occurred to me to add this to What's New. Someone just reported this on bpo this week. I'll try and get a PR together this week. Eric (who doesn't feel picked on!) On 8/11/2021 2:35 PM, Brett Cannon wrote:
Not to specifically pick on Eric V. Smith, but yesterday a co-worker came to me asking about `KW_ONLY` for dataclasses and wanting to provide feedback (https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/dataclasses.html#dataclasses.KW_ONLY https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/dataclasses.html#dataclasses.KW_ONLY). I said we had reached RC and so it was pretty much too late; the alphas and betas are when one should provide feedback.
But then I realized you wouldn't even know about this new feature unless you read What's New ... and that's when I found out this new feature isn't mentioned (yet). As of right now the only dataclass feature documented in the What's New is something about slots (https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#dataclasses https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#dataclasses).
So my question is whether we want to push to be more diligent about updating What's New by b1 so people can provide feedback during the betas beyond just reporting breaking changes?
