+ * For ``FrameObject`` objects, the ``f_lasti`` member now represents a wordcode
+ offset instead of a simple offset into the bytecode string. This means that this
+ number needs to be multiplied by 2 to be used with APIs that expect a byte offset
+ instead (like :c:func:`PyCode_Addr2Line` for example). Notice as well that the
+ ``f_lasti`` member of ``FrameObject`` objects is not considered stable.
