+- A new version of typing.py provides several new classes and
+  features: @overload outside stubs, Reversible, DefaultDict, Text,
+  ContextManager, Type[], NewType(), TYPE_CHECKING, and numerous bug
+  fixes (note that some of the new features are not yet implemented in
+  mypy or other static analyzers).  Also classes for PEP 492
+  (Awaitable, AsyncIterable, AsyncIterator) have been added (in fact
+  they made it into 3.5.1 but were never mentioned).
