 ============================
 Release date: TBA
 
+* Fix the ``scope()`` and ``frame()`` methods of ``NamedExpr`` nodes.
+  When these nodes occur in ``Arguments``, ``Keyword``  or ``Comprehension`` nodes these
+  methods now correctly point to the outer-scope of the `` FunctionDef``,
+  ``ClassDef`` or ``Comprehension``.
