 * (Java) KafkaIO dynamic reads no longer require the obsolete `beam_fn_api` experiment ([#29998](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29998)).
 * (Prism) Self-checkpointing splittable DoFns now resume after their requested delay instead of immediately, so polling SDFs no longer busy-spin ([#39848](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39848)).
 * (Java) MongoDbIO read splitting now preserves non-ObjectId `_id` types (e.g. string ids) instead of failing to parse the generated range filters ([#39900](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/39900)).
+* (Python) Fixed `PickleCoder`/`_MemoizingPickleCoder.as_deterministic_coder()` raising `TypeError` instead of returning a working deterministic coder ([#28558](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/28558)).
