 * The function and methods named ``create_task`` have received a new
  ``**kwargs`` argument that is passed through to the task constructor.
  This change was accidentally added in 3.13.3,
  and broke the API contract for custom task factories.
  Several third-party task factories implemented workarounds for this.
  In 3.13.4 and later releases the old factory contract is honored
  once again (until 3.14).
  To keep the workarounds working, the extra ``**kwargs`` argument still
  allows passing additional keyword arguments to :class:`~asyncio.Task`
  and to custom task factories.

  This affects the following function and methods:
  :meth:`asyncio.create_task`,
  :meth:`asyncio.loop.create_task`,
  :meth:`asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task`.
