• Background Tasks: run code outside the HTTP request-response cycle with a built-in, flexible task framework. (Jake Howard)
• Content Security Policy (CSP): easily configure and enforce browser-level security policies to protect against content injection. (Rob Hudson)
• Modernized Email API: compose and send emails with Python's EmailMessage class for a cleaner, Unicode-friendly interface. (Mike Edmunds)
