* 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. (Contributed by Kirill Pinchuk in :gh:`88457`.)
