* Windows: ``ffi.dlopen()`` should now handle unicode filenames.
-* Implemented ``ffi.dlclose()`` for the in-line case (it used to be
- present only in the out-of-line case).
+* ABI mode: implemented ``ffi.dlclose()`` for the in-line case (it used
+ to be present only in the out-of-line case).
* Fixed a corner case for ``setup.py install --record=xx --root=yy``
- with an out-of-line ABI module.
+ with an out-of-line ABI module. Also fixed `Issue #345`_.
* More hacks on Windows for running CFFI's own ``setup.py``.
-* `Issue #358`_: in embedding, to protect against Python initialization
- from several threads in parallel, we have to use a spin-lock. On
- CPython 3 it is worse because it might spin-lock for a long time
- (execution of ``Py_InitializeEx()``). Sadly, recent changes to
- CPython make that solution needed on CPython 2 too.

+* CPython 3 on Windows: we no longer compile with ``Py_LIMITED_API``
+ by default because such modules cannot be used with virtualenv.
+ `Issue #350`_ mentions a workaround if you still want that and are not
+ concerned about virtualenv: pass a ``define_macros=[("Py_LIMITED_API",
+ None)]`` to the ``ffibuilder.set_source()`` call.
