- The regexp used by the :func:`.url.make_url` function now parses
ipv6 addresses, e.g. surrounded by brackets. [ticket:2851]
An overhaul of expression handling for special symbols particularly
with conjunctions, e.g.
``None`` :func:`.expression.null` :func:`.expression.true`
:func:`.expression.false`, including consistency in rendering NULL
in conjunctions, "short-circuiting" of :func:`.and_` and :func:`.or_`
expressions which contain boolean constants, and rendering of
boolean constants and expressions as compared to "1" or "0" for backends
that don't feature ``true``/``false`` constants. [ticket:2804]
