+* Added :func:`~logging.getLevelNamesMapping`
+ to return a mapping from logging level names (e.g. ``'CRITICAL'``)
+ to the values of their corresponding :ref:`levels` (e.g. ``50``, by default).
+ (Contributed by Andrei Kulakovin in :gh:`88024`.)
+
+* Added a :meth:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler.createSocket` method
+ to :class:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler`, to match
+ :meth:`SocketHandler.createSocket()
+ <logging.handlers.SocketHandler.createSocket>`.
+ It is called automatically during handler initialization
+ and when emitting an event, if there is no active socket.
