Core and Builtins
-----------------
+ - Issue #20120: Use RawConfigParser for .pypirc parsing,
+ removing support for interpolation unintentionally added
+ with move to Python 3. Behavior no longer does any
+ interpolation in .pypirc files, matching behavior in Python
+ 2.7 and Setuptools 19.0.
+
+- Issue #26249: Memory functions of the :c:func:`PyMem_Malloc` domain
+ (:c:data:`PYMEM_DOMAIN_MEM`) now use the :ref:`pymalloc allocator <pymalloc>`
+ rather than system :c:func:`malloc`. Applications calling
+ :c:func:`PyMem_Malloc` without holding the GIL can now crash: use
+ ``PYTHONMALLOC=debug`` environment variable to validate the usage of memory
+ allocators in your application.
+
+- Issue #26802: Optimize function calls only using unpacking like
+ ``func(*tuple)`` (no other positional argument, no keyword): avoid copying
+ the tuple. Patch written by Joe Jevnik.
+
- Issue #26659: Make the builtin slice type support cycle collection.
- Issue #26718: super.__init__ no longer leaks memory if called multiple times.
