 =============
 
-* The :file:`configure` option :option:`--with-system-libmpdec` now defaults
-  to ``yes``. The bundled copy of ``libmpdecimal`` will be removed in Python
-  3.15.
+* ``arm64-apple-ios`` and ``arm64-apple-ios-simulator`` are both
+  now :pep:`11` tier 3 platforms.

+* ``wasm32-wasi`` is now a :pep:`11` tier 2 platform.

+
+* ``wasm32-emscripten`` is no longer a :pep:`11` supported platform.

+
+* Building CPython now requires a compiler with support for the C11 atomic
+  library, GCC built-in atomic functions, or MSVC interlocked intrinsics.
 
 * Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 are now required to regenerate
   the :file:`configure` script.

-* Python built with :file:`configure` :option:`--with-trace-refs` (tracing

+* CPython now bundles the `mimalloc library`_ by default.
+  It is licensed under the MIT license;
