- Add `PyCapsule` type exposing the [Capsule API](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/capsule.html#capsules). [#1980](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1980)
- Add `pyo3_build_config::Sysconfigdata` and supporting APIs. [#1996](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1996)
- Add `#[pyo3(crate = "some::path")]` option to all attribute macros (except the deprecated `#[pyproto]`). [#2022](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2022)
- Enable `create_exception!` macro to take an optional docstring. [#2027](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2027)
- Add support for `from_py_with` on struct tuples and enums to override the default from-Python conversion. [#2181](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2181)
-`PyType::is_subclass`, `PyErr::is_instance` and `PyAny::is_instance` now operate run-time type object instead of a type known at compile-time. The old behavior is still available as `PyType::is_subclass_of`, `PyErr::is_instance_of` and `PyAny::is_instance_of`. [#1985](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1985)
-`PyErr::new_type` now takes an optional docstring and now returns `PyResult<Py<PyType>>` rather than a `ffi::PyTypeObject` pointer. [#2027](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2027)
- Deprecate `PyType::is_instance`; it is inconsistent with other `is_instance` methods in PyO3. Instead of `typ.is_instance(obj)`, use `obj.is_instance(typ)`. [#2031](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2031)
-`__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` and `PyDateTime_TimeZone_UTC` are are now unsafe functions instead of statics. [#2126](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2126)
-`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 behaviour: [#2126](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2126)
- Deprecate the `gc` option for `pyclass` (e.g. `#[pyclass(gc)]`). Just implement a `__traverse__``#[pymethod]`. [#2159](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2159)
- Fix clippy warning `needless-option-as-deref` in code generated by `#[pyfunction]` and `#[pymethods]`. [#2040](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2040)
- Fix the `wrap_pymodule!` macro using the wrong name for a `#[pymodule]` with a `#[pyo3(name = "..")]` attribute. [#2081](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2081)
- Fix magic methods in `#[pymethods]` accepting implementations with the wrong number of arguments. [#2083](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2083)

- Add implementations for `Py::as_ref()` and `Py::into_ref()` for `Py<PySequence>`, `Py<PyIterator>` and `Py<PyMapping>`. [#1682](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1682)
-`#[classattr]` constants with a known magic method name (which is lowercase) no longer trigger lint warnings expecting constants to be uppercase. [#1969](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1969)
### Fixed

-`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)
- Mark FFI definitions removed in Python 3.10 `PyParser_ASTFromString`, `PyParser_ASTFromStringObject`, `PyParser_ASTFromFile`, `PyParser_ASTFromFileObject`, `PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlags`, `PyParser_SimpleParseStringFlagsFilename`, `PyParser_SimpleParseFileFlags`, `PyParser_SimpleParseString`, `PyParser_SimpleParseFile`, `Py_SymtableString`, and `Py_SymtableStringObject`. [#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)
- Fix incorrect FFI definition of `Py_DecodeLocale`. The 2nd argument is now `*mut Py_ssize_t` instead of `Py_ssize_t`. [#1766](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1766)

- Add a new set of `#[pyo3(...)]` attributes to control various PyO3 macro functionality:
-`#[pyo3(from_py_with = "...")]` function arguments and struct fields to override the default from-Python conversion. [#1411](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1411)
-`#[pyo3(name = "...")]` for setting Python names. [#1567](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1567)
-`#[pyo3(text_signature = "...")]` for setting text signature. [#1658](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1658)
- Allow only one `#[pymethods]` block per `#[pyclass]` by default, to remove the dependency on `inventory`. Add a `multiple-pymethods` feature to opt-in the original behavior and dependency on `inventory`. [#1457](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1457)
- Change `PyTimeAccess::get_fold` to return a `bool` instead of a `u8`. [#1397](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1397)

- Deprecate FFI definitions `PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords`, `PyEval_CallObject`, `PyEval_CallFunction`, `PyEval_CallMethod` when building for Python 3.9. [#1338](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1338)
- Deprecate FFI definitions `PyGetSetDef_DICT` and `PyGetSetDef_INIT` which have never been in the Python API. [#1341](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1341)
- Deprecate FFI definitions `PyCoro_Check`, `PyAsyncGen_Check`, and `PyCoroWrapper_Check`, which have never been in the Python API (for the first two, it is possible to use `PyCoro_CheckExact` and `PyAsyncGen_CheckExact` instead; these are the actual functions provided by the Python API). [#1348](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1348)
- Deprecate FFI definitions for `PyUnicode_FromUnicode`, `PyUnicode_AsUnicode` and `PyUnicode_AsUnicodeAndSize`, which will be removed from 3.12 and up due to [PEP 613](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0623/). [#1370](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1370)

- Add support for building for CPython limited API. Opting-in to the limited API enables a single extension wheel built with PyO3 to be installable on multiple Python versions. This required a few minor changes to runtime behaviour of of PyO3 `#[pyclass]` types. See the migration guide for full details. [#1152](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1152)
- Add feature flags `abi3-py36`, `abi3-py37`, `abi3-py38` etc. to set the minimum Python version when using the limited API. [#1263](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1263)

- Fix segmentation faults caused by functions such as `PyList::get_item` returning borrowed objects when it was not safe to do so. [#890](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/890)
- Implemented `IntoIterator` for `PySet` and `PyFrozenSet`. [#716](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/716)
-`FromPyObject` is now automatically implemented for `T: Clone` pyclasses. [#730](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/730)
-`#[pyo3(get)]` and `#[pyo3(set)]` will now use the Rust doc-comment from the field for the Python property. [#755](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/755)
-`#[setter]` functions may now take an argument of `Pyo3::Python`. [#760](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/760)
-`PyTypeInfo::BaseLayout` and `PyClass::BaseNativeType`. [#770](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/770)
- The blanket implementations for `FromPyObject` for `&T` and `&mut T` are no longer specializable. Implement `PyTryFrom` for your type to control the behavior of `FromPyObject::extract` for your types. [#713](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/713)
- 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)
- Fixed unsoundness of subclassing. [#683](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/683).
- Clear error indicator when the exception is handled on the Rust side. [#719](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/719)
- Usage of raw identifiers with `#[pyo3(set)]`. [#745](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/745)
- Usage of `PyObject` with `#[pyo3(get)]`. [#760](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/760)
-`#[pymethods]` used in conjunction with `#[cfg]`. #[769](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/769)
-`"*"` in a `#[pyfunction()]` argument list incorrectly accepting any number of positional arguments (use `args = "*"` when this behaviour 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)]`
