* :data:`typing.TypedDict` types can now be generic. (Contributed by
Samodya Abey in :gh:`89026`.)

* :class:`~typing.NamedTuple` types can now be generic.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`43923`.)

* Allow subclassing of :class:`typing.Any`. This is useful for avoiding
type checker errors related to highly dynamic class, such as mocks.

to clear all registered overloads of a function.

* :data:`typing.TypedDict` subclasses can now be generic. (Contributed by
Samodya Abey in :gh:`89026`.)
* The :meth:`__init__` method of :class:`~typing.Protocol` subclasses
is now preserved. (Contributed by Adrian Garcia Badarasco in :gh:`88970`.)

* :class:`~typing.NamedTuple` subclasses can now be generic.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`43923`.)
* The representation of empty tuple types (``Tuple[()]``) is simplified.
This affects introspection, e.g. ``get_args(Tuple[()])`` now evaluates
to ``()`` instead of ``((),)``.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :gh:`91137`.)

* Loosen runtime requirements for type annotations by removing the callable
check in the private ``typing._type_check`` function. (Contributed by
Gregory Beauregard in :gh:`90802`.)

* :func:`typing.get_type_hints` now supports evaluating strings as forward
references in :ref:`PEP 585 generic aliases <types-genericalias>`.
(Contributed by Niklas Rosenstein in :gh:`85542`.)

* :func:`typing.get_type_hints` no longer adds :data:`~typing.Optional`
to parameters with ``None`` as a default. (Contributed by Nikita Sobolev
in :gh:`90353`.)

* :func:`typing.get_type_hints` now supports evaluating bare stringified
:data:`~typing.ClassVar` annotations. (Contributed by Gregory Beauregard
in :gh:`90711`.)

* :func:`typing.no_type_check` no longer modifies external classes and functions.
It also now correctly marks classmethods as not to be type checked. (Contributed
by Nikita Sobolev in :gh:`90729`.)
