   name, you can rename it manually to ``NAME.abi3.so``, or use the very
   recent setuptools 26.
 
-* Removed the ctypes backend.  If ``_cffi_backend`` was not compiled,
-  you could ask (using an undocumented interface) for ``backend_ctypes``

   --debug`` but defaulting to True if we are running a debugging
