 * Replaced `.pxi` includes in `dpnp.tensor` with modular `.pxd`/`.pyx` Cython imports [#2913](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2913)
 * Reimplemented `dpnp.eye` and `dpnp.tensor.eye` with a branchless kernel [gh-2937](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2937)
 * Cleaned up Python bindings for indexing functions, renaming `usm_ndarray_take` and `usm_ndarray_put` to `py_take` and `py_put` and refactoring validation [gh-2935](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2935)
+* Fixed some tests which expected lists from `dpctl` functions which now return tuples (i.e., `dpctl.SyclDevice.create_sub_devices`) [gh-2945](https://github.com/IntelPython/dpnp/pull/2945)
