  Core and builtins
  
+ - The optional object allocator has been enabled by default.
+ 
  - If you try to pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but
    doesn't define or override __getstate__, a TypeError is now raised.

  C API
+ 
+ - Objects allocated using the new PyMalloc_New and PyMalloc_NewVar
+   functions will be allocated using pymalloc if it is enabled.  These
+   objects should be deallocated using PyMalloc_Del.  The PyObject_{New,
+   NewVar,NEW_VAR,Del,DEL} APIs have been changed to always use
+   PyMem_MALLOC and PyMem_FREE, even if pymalloc is enabled.  The
+   PyCore_* family of APIs have been removed.
  
  - The "u#" parser marker will now pass through Unicode object as-is
