+- Issue #9298: base64 bodies weren't being folded to line lengths less than 78,
+  which was a regression relative to Python2.  Unlike Python2, the last line
+  of the folded body now ends with a carriage return.

 - Issue #11569: use absolute path to the sysctl command in multiprocessing to
   ensure that it will be found regardless of the shell PATH. This ensures
   that multiprocessing.cpu_count works on default installs of MacOSX.
