======================
+v1.9.2
+======
+
+* Issue #295: use calloc() directly instead of
+ PyObject_Malloc()+memset() to handle ffi.new() with a default
+ allocator. Speeds up ``ffi.new(large-array)`` where most of the time
+ you never touch most of the array. (But avoid doing that too often:
+ on 32-bit PyPy it will quickly exhaust the address space. This case
+ is best handled by explicit calls to calloc() and free().)
+
+* some OS/X build fixes ("only with Xcode but without CLT").
+
+
v1.9
