* The :c:func:`PyUnicode_FSConverter` and :c:func:`PyUnicode_FSDecoder`
functions will now accept :term:`path-like objects <path-like object>`.

.. versionchanged:: 3.6.2
The UNIX build system using Makefile does not recompile generated files
based on file modification time anymore. The new ``make regen-all`` command
can be called explicitly to force a recompilation of all generated files. As
a consequence, by default, compililing Python doesn't need Python anymore.
The ``make touch`` command (to fix file modification time) was also removed
since it becomes useless. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in
:issue:`23404`.)
