742+ * The function and methods named ``create_task `` have received a new
743+ ``**kwargs `` argument that is passed through to the task constructor.
744+ This change was accidentally added in 3.13.3,
745+ and broke the API contract for custom task factories.
746+ Several third-party task factories implemented workarounds for this.
747+ In 3.13.4 and later releases the old factory contract is honored
748+ once again (until 3.14).
749+ To keep the workarounds working, the extra ``**kwargs `` argument still
750+ allows passing additional keyword arguments to:class: `~asyncio.Task `
751+ and to custom task factories.
752+
753+ This affects the following function and methods:
754+ :meth: `asyncio.create_task `,
755+ :meth: `asyncio.loop.create_task `,
756+ :meth: `asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task `.
