- Batching can now be used with the AutoProvider (`[#3607](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3607) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3607>`__)
Improved Documentation

• Update and clean up Contributing docs. ([#3610](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3610) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3610>__)

Features

- Add ``use_text_frames`` flag for ``WebSocketProvider`` to work around websocket servers that don't support binary frames (`[#3619](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3619) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3619>`__)

Internal Changes - for web3.py Contributors

• Renames a test so pytest finds it. ([#3606](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3606) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3606>__)
• Merge template, replacing bumpversion with bump-my-version. ([#3610](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3610) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3610>__)
• Update integration test fixture to use latest geth version v1.15.5. ([#3636](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3636) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3636>__)
• Use -U to install latest py-geth version for CI geth steps. This is usually a requirement if we're missing the binary for the newly-generated fixture geth version. ([#3637](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3637) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3637>__)
