The :class:`asyncio.Timeout` context manager now works reliably even when

typing: Fix a bug relating to substitution in custom classes generic over a
:class:`~typing.ParamSpec`. Previously, if the ``ParamSpec`` was substituted
with a parameters list that itself contained a :class:`~typing.TypeVar`, the
``TypeVar`` in the parameters list could not be subsequently substituted.
This is now fixed.

When built against OpenSSL 3.0, the :mod:`ssl` module had a bug where it
reported unauthenticated EOFs (i.e. without close_notify) as a clean
TLS-level EOF. It now raises :exc:`~ssl.SSLEOFError`, matching the behavior
in previous versions of OpenSSL. The :attr:`~ssl.SSLContext.options`
attribute on :class:`~ssl.SSLContext` also no longer includes
:data:`~ssl.OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF` by default. This option may be set to
specify the previous OpenSSL 3.0 behavior.
