+The delegation of :func:`int` to :meth:`__trunc__` is now deprecated.
+Calling ``int(a)`` when ``type(a)`` implements :meth:`__trunc__` but not
+:meth:`__int__` or :meth:`__index__` now raises a :exc:`DeprecationWarning`.

+Reorder code emitted by the compiler for a :keyword:`try`-:keyword:`except`
+block so that the :keyword:`else` block's code immediately follows the
+:keyword:`try` body (without a jump). This is more optimal for the happy

+.. section: Core and Builtins
+
+Use two or three bytecodes to implement most calls.
+
+Calls without named arguments are implemented as a sequence of two
+instructions: ``PRECALL; CALL``. Calls with named arguments are implemented
+as a sequence of three instructions: ``PRECALL; KW_NAMES; CALL``. There are
+two different ``PRECALL`` instructions: ``PRECALL_FUNTION`` and
+``PRECALL_METHOD``. The latter pairs with ``LOAD_METHOD``.
+
+This partition into pre-call and call allows better specialization, and thus
+better performance ultimately.
+
+There is no change in semantics.
