* The :func:`ssl.create_default_context` API now includes
:data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_PARTIAL_CHAIN` and :data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT`
in its default flags.

.. note::

:data:`ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT` may reject pre-:rfc:`5280` or malformed
certificates that the underlying OpenSSL implementation otherwise would
accept. While disabling this is not recommended, you can do so using::

ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
ctx.verify_flags &= ~ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT
