- Add `typing_extensions.get_protocol_members` and
`typing_extensions.is_protocol` (backport of CPython PR 104878).
Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
- `typing_extensions` now re-exports all names in the standard library's
`typing` module, except the deprecated `ByteString`. Patch by Jelle
Zijlstra.
- Due to changes in the implementation of `typing_extensions.Protocol`,
`typing.runtime_checkable` can now be used on `typing_extensions.Protocol`
(previously, users had to use `typing_extensions.runtime_checkable` if they
were using `typing_extensions.Protocol`).
- Align the implementation of `TypedDict` with the implementation in the
standard library on Python 3.9 and higher.
`typing_extensions.TypedDict` is now a function instead of a class. The
private functions `_check_fails`, `_dict_new`, and `_typeddict_new`
have been removed. `is_typeddict` now returns `False` when called with
`TypedDict` itself as the argument. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
- Declare support for Python 3.12. Patch by Jelle Zijlstra.
- Fix tests on Python 3.13, which removes support for creating
`TypedDict` classes through the keyword-argument syntax. Patch by
Jelle Zijlstra.
- Fix a regression introduced in v4.6.3 that meant that
``issubclass(object, typing_extensions.Protocol)`` would erroneously raise
``TypeError``. Patch by Alex Waygood (backporting the CPython PR
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/105239).
- Allow `Protocol` classes to inherit from `typing_extensions.Buffer` or
`collections.abc.Buffer`. Patch by Alex Waygood (backporting
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/104827, by Jelle Zijlstra).
- Allow classes to inherit from both `typing.Protocol` and `typing_extensions.Protocol`
simultaneously. Since v4.6.0, this caused `TypeError` to be raised due to a
metaclass conflict. Patch by Alex Waygood.
- Backport several deprecations from CPython relating to unusual ways to
create `TypedDict`s and `NamedTuple`s. CPython PRs 105609 and 105780
by Alex Waygood; `typing_extensions` backport by Jelle Zijlstra.
- Creating a `NamedTuple` using the functional syntax with keyword arguments
(`NT = NamedTuple("NT", a=int)`) is now deprecated.
- Creating a `NamedTuple` with zero fields using the syntax `NT = NamedTuple("NT")`
or `NT = NamedTuple("NT", None)` is now deprecated.
- Creating a `TypedDict` with zero fields using the syntax `TD = TypedDict("TD")`
or `TD = TypedDict("TD", None)` is now deprecated.
- Fix bug on Python 3.7 where a protocol `X` that had a member `a` would not be
considered an implicit subclass of an unrelated protocol `Y` that only has a
member `a`. Where the members of `X` are a superset of the members of `Y`,
`X` should always be considered a subclass of `Y` iff `Y` is a
runtime-checkable protocol that only has callable members. Patch by Alex
Waygood (backporting CPython PR
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/105835).
