It doesn't.  What's New proper only lists new features, which only 
appear in x.y.0.  But is includes a link to an updated 'changelog', 
which includes bug fixes, listed in separate sections for each release, 
including release candidates.  "See the changelog for a full list of 
changes.": 2nd line of What's New in Python 3.5.
