- Add `FromPyObject::extract_bound` method, to migrate `FromPyObject` implementations to the Bound API. [#3706](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3706)
- Add `PyBackedStr` and `PyBackedBytes`, as alternatives to `&str` and `&bytes` where a Python object owns the data. [#3802](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3802) [#3991](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3991)
- Allow `#[pymodule]` macro on Rust `mod` blocks, with the `experimental-declarative-modules` feature. [#3815](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3815)
- Implement `ExactSizeIterator` for `set` and `frozenset` iterators on `abi3` feature. [#3849](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3849)
- Add `Py::drop_ref` to explicitly drop a `Py`` and immediately decrease the Python reference count if the GIL is already held. [#3871](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3871)
-`PyDict::from_sequence` now takes a single argument of type `&PyAny` (previously took two arguments `Python` and `PyObject`). [#3532](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3532)

- The `Iter(A)NextOutput` types are now deprecated and `__(a)next__` can directly return anything which can be converted into Python objects, i.e. awaitables do not need to be wrapped into `IterANextOutput` or `Option` any more. `Option` can still be used as well and returning `None` will trigger the fast path for `__next__`, stopping iteration without having to raise a `StopIteration` exception. [#3661](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3661)
- Add lifetime parameter to `PyTzInfoAccess` trait. For the deprecated gil-ref API, the trait is now implemented for `&'py PyTime` and `&'py PyDateTime` instead of `PyTime` and `PyDate`. [#3679](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3679)

- Improve performance of `extract::<i64>` (and other integer types) by avoiding call to `__index__()` converting the value to an integer for 3.10+. Gives performance improvement of around 30% for successful extraction. [#3742](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3742)
- Relax bound of `FromPyObject` for `Py<T>` to just `T: PyTypeCheck`. [#3776](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3776)
-`PySet` and `PyFrozenSet` iterators now always iterate the equivalent of `iter(set)`. (A "fast path" with no noticeable performance benefit was removed.) [#3849](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3849)
- Move implementations of `FromPyObject` for `&str`, `Cow<str>`, `&[u8]` and `Cow<[u8]>` onto a temporary trait `FromPyObjectBound` when `gil-refs` feature is deactivated. [#3928](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3928)

-`__getitem__`, `__setitem__` and `__delitem__` in `#[pymethods]` now implement both a Python mapping and sequence by default. [#2065](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2065)
-`PyDateTimeAPI` does not implicitly call `PyDateTime_IMPORT` anymore to reflect the original Python API more closely. Before the first call to `PyDateTime_IMPORT` a null pointer is returned. Therefore before calling any of the following FFI functions `PyDateTime_IMPORT` must be called to avoid undefined behavior: [#2126](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2126)

-`PySequence::in_place_repeat` and `PySequence::in_place_concat` now return `PyResult<&PySequence>` instead of `PyResult<()>`, which is needed in case of immutable sequences such as tuples. [#1803](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1803)
-`PySequence::get_slice` now returns `PyResult<&PySequence>` instead of `PyResult<&PyAny>`. [#1829](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1829)
- Deprecate FFI definitions `PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlags`, `PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename`, `PyParser_SimpleParseFileFlags` when building for Python 3.9. [#1830](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1830)

- Reverted PyO3 0.14.0's use of `cargo:rustc-cdylib-link-arg` in its build script, as Cargo unintentionally allowed crates to pass linker args to downstream crates in this way. Projects supporting macOS may need to restore `.cargo/config.toml` files. [#1755](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1755)
- Fix regression in 0.14.0 rejecting usage of `#[doc(hidden)]` on structs and functions annotated with PyO3 macros. [#1722](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1722)

- The implementation for `IntoPy<U> for T` where `U: FromPy<T>` is no longer specializable. Control the behavior of this via the implementation of `FromPy`. [#713](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/713)
- Use `parking_lot::Mutex` instead of `spin::Mutex`. [#734](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/734)
- Bumped minimum Rust version to `1.42.0-nightly 2020-01-21`. [#761](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/761)
-`PyRef` and `PyRefMut` are renewed for `PyCell`. [#770](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/770)
- Some new FFI functions for Python 3.8. [#784](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/784)
-`PyAny` is now on the top level module and prelude. [#816](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/816)
-`"*"` in a `#[pyfunction()]` argument list incorrectly accepting any number of positional arguments (use `args = "*"` when this behavior is desired). #[792](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/792)
- Implementing the Using the `gc` parameter for `pyclass` (e.g. `#[pyclass(gc)]`) without implementing the `class::PyGCProtocol` trait is now a compile-time error. Failing to implement this trait could lead to segfaults. [#532](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/532)
-`PyByteArray::data` has been replaced with `PyDataArray::to_vec` because returning a `&[u8]` is unsound. (See [this comment](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/373#issuecomment-512332696) for a great write-up for why that was unsound)
- Replace `mashup` with `paste`.
-`GILPool` gained a `Python` marker to prevent it from being misused to release Python objects without the GIL held.
- Currently, [#341](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/issues/341) causes `cargo test` to fail with weird linking errors when the `extension-module` feature is activated. For now you can work around this by making the `extension-module` feature optional and running the tests with `cargo test --no-default-features`:
- Added a `wrap_pymodule!` macro similar to the existing `wrap_pyfunction!` macro. Only available on python 3
- Added support for cross compiling (e.g. to arm v7) by mtp401 in [#327](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/327). See the "Cross Compiling" section in the "Building and Distribution" chapter of the guide for more details.
- The `PyRef` and `PyRefMut` types, which allow to differentiate between an instance of a rust struct on the rust heap and an instance that is embedded inside a python object. By kngwyu in [#335](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/335)
- Added `FromPy<T>` and `IntoPy<T>` which are equivalent to `From<T>` and `Into<T>` except that they require a gil token.
- Added `ManagedPyRef`, which should eventually replace `ToBorrowedObject`.
- A soudness hole where every instances of a `#[pyclass]` struct was considered to be part of a python object, even though you can create instances that are not part of the python heap. This was fixed through `PyRef` and `PyRefMut`.
- Fix kwargs support in [#328](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/328).
- Add full support for `__dict__` in [#403](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/403).
- Bindings for the `datetime` standard library types: `PyDate`, `PyTime`, `PyDateTime`, `PyTzInfo`, `PyDelta` with associated `ffi` types, by pganssle [#200](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/200).
- Upgraded to syn 0.14 which means much better error messages :tada:
- 128 bit integer support by [kngwyu](https://github.com/kngwyu) ([#137](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/173))
-`proc_macro` has been stabilized on nightly ([rust-lang/rust#52081](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/52081)). This means that we can remove the `proc_macro` feature, but now we need the `use_extern_macros` from the 2018 edition instead.
- All proc macro are now prefixed with `py` and live in the prelude. This means you can use `#[pyclass]`, `#[pymethods]`, `#[pyproto]`, `#[pyfunction]` and `#[pymodinit]` directly, at least after a `use pyo3::prelude::*`. They were also moved into a module called `proc_macro`. You shouldn't use `#[pyo3::proc_macro::pyclass]` or other longer paths in attributes because `proc_macro_path_invoc` isn't going to be stabilized soon.
- Renamed the `base` option in the `pyclass` macro to `extends`.
-`#[pymodinit]` uses the function name as module name, unless the name is overrriden with `#[pymodinit(name)]`
