+------
+
+* As a consequence of necessary internal refactoring, initialization of
+ internal metaclasses now happens in ``__init__`` rather
+ than in ``__new__``. This affects projects that subclass these internal
+ metaclasses to provide custom initialization.
+ Generally:
+
+ - Custom logic that was done in ``__new__`` after calling ``super().__new__``
+ should be moved to ``__init__``.
+ - To create a class, call the metaclass, not only the metaclass's
+ ``__new__`` method.
+
+ See :gh:`124520` for discussion and links to changes in some affected
+ projects.
