+### Changed
+
+- Change the type of `PySliceIndices::slicelength` and the `length` parameter of `PySlice::indices()`. [#3761](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3761)
+- Deprecate implicit default for trailing optional arguments [#4078](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4078)
+- `Clone`ing pointers into the Python heap has been moved behind the `py-clone` feature, as it must panic without the GIL being held as a soundness fix. [#4095](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4095)
+- Add `#[track_caller]` to all `Py<T>`, `Bound<'py, T>` and `Borrowed<'a, 'py, T>` methods which can panic. [#4098](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4098)

+- Deprecate implicit integer comparision for simple enums in favor of `#[pyclass(eq_int)]`. [#4210](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4210)
+- Set the `module=` attribute of declarative modules' child `#[pymodule]`s and `#[pyclass]`es. [#4213](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4213)
+- Set the `module` option for complex enum variants from the value set on the complex enum `module`. [#4228](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4228)
+- Respect the Python "limited API" when building for the `abi3` feature on PyPy or GraalPy. [#4237](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4237)
+- Optimize code generated by `#[pyo3(get)]` on `#[pyclass]` fields. [#4254](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4254)
+- `PyCFunction::new`, `PyCFunction::new_with_keywords` and `PyCFunction::new_closure` now take `&'static CStr` name and doc arguments (previously was `&'static str`). [#4255](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4255)
+- The `experimental-declarative-modules` feature is now stabilized and available by default. [#4257](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/4257)
