+===================
+
+* IPython cell magic was lacking a good way to enable Python 3 code semantics.
+  It can now be used as "%%cython -3".
 
 * Follow a recent change in `PEP 492 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/>`_
   and CPython 3.5.1 that now requires the ``__aiter__()`` method of asynchronous
   iterators to be a simple ``def`` method instead of an ``async def`` method.

+
+* Rebuilds could fail to evaluate dependency timestamps in C++ mode.
