The module Constrarg was merged into Stdarg.
+The following types have been moved and modified:
+
+ local_binder -> local_binder_expr
+ glob_binder merged with glob_decl
+
+The following constructors have been renamed:
+
+ LocalRawDef -> CLocalDef
+ LocalRawAssum -> CLocalAssum
+ LocalPattern -> CLocalPattern
+
+In Constrexpr_ops:
+
+ Deprecating abstract_constr_expr in favor of mkCLambdaN, and
+ prod_constr_expr in favor of mkCProdN. Note: the first ones were
+ interpreting "(x y z:_)" as "(x:_) (y:_) (z:_)" while the second
+ ones were preserving the original sharing of the type.

+** Stm API **
+
+- We have streamlined the `Stm` API, now `add` and `query` take a
+ `coq_parsable` instead a `string` so clients can have more control
+ over their input stream. As a consequence, their types have been
+ modified.
+
+- The main parsing entry point has also been moved to the
+ `Stm`. Parsing is considered a synchronous operation so it will
+ either succeed or raise an exception.
+
+- `Feedback` is now only emitted for asynchronous operations. As a
+ consequence, it always carries a valid stateid and the type has
+ changed to accommodate that.
+
+- A few unused hooks were removed due to cleanups, no clients known.
+
+** Toplevel and Vernacular API **
+
+- The components related to vernacular interpretation have been moved
+ to their own folder `vernac/` whereas toplevel now contains the
+ proper toplevel shell and compiler.
+
+- Coq's toplevel has been ported to directly use the common `Stm`
+ API. The signature of a few functions has changed as a result.
+
+** XML Protocol **
+
+- The legacy `Interp` call has been turned into a noop.
