Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #1878: Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG from
+ Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT when not building the core. This means 3rd party
+ extensions do not automatically benefit from the class attribute
+ cache; they will have to explicitly add Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG
+ to their tp_flags field if they care. This is a backwards
+ compatibility feature; in 3.0, all types will use the cache by
+ default.

- Keyword arguments can now follow starred arguments. (``f(a, *args,
keyword=23)`` is now valid syntax.)
