+Notable changes in 3.11.4
+=========================
+
+tarfile
+-------
+
+* The extraction methods in :mod:`tarfile`, and :func:`shutil.unpack_archive`,
+  have a new a *filter* argument that allows limiting tar features than may be
+  surprising or dangerous, such as creating files outside the destination
+  directory.
+  See :ref:`tarfile-extraction-filter` for details.
+  In Python 3.12, use without the *filter* argument will show a
+  :exc:`DeprecationWarning`.
+  In Python 3.14, the default will switch to ``'data'``.
