 - ``pd.to_datetime('today')`` now returns a datetime, consistent with ``pd.Timestamp('today')``; previously ``pd.to_datetime('today')`` returned a ``.normalized()`` datetime (:issue:`19935`)
 - :func:`Series.str.replace` now takes an optional `regex` keyword which, when set to ``False``, uses literal string replacement rather than regex replacement (:issue:`16808`)
 - :func:`DatetimeIndex.strftime` and :func:`PeriodIndex.strftime` now return an ``Index`` instead of a numpy array to be consistent with similar accessors (:issue:`20127`)
+- Constructing a Series from a list of length 1 no longer broadcasts this list when a longer index is specified (:issue:`19714`, :issue:`20391`).
