 - Bug in partial-string indexing returning a NumPy array rather than a ``Series`` when indexing with a scalar like ``.loc['2015']`` (:issue:`27516`)
 - Break reference cycle involving :class:`Index` and other index classes to allow garbage collection of index objects without running the GC. (:issue:`27585`, :issue:`27840`)
 - Fix regression in assigning values to a single column of a DataFrame with a ``MultiIndex`` columns (:issue:`27841`).
