 ### Fixed
 
+- Fix `abi3-py310` feature: use Python 3.10 ABI when available instead of silently falling back to the 3.9 ABI. [#2242](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2242)
 - Considered `PYTHONFRAMEWORK` when cross compiling in order that on macos cross compiling against a [Framework bundle](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFrameworks/Concepts/FrameworkAnatomy.html) is considered shared. [#2233](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2233)
 - Panic during compilation when `PYO3_CROSS_LIB_DIR` is set for some host/target combinations. [#2232](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2232)
 - Correct dependency version for `syn` to require correct minimal patch version 1.0.56. [#2240](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2240)
