Example:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/69071054b42f
PyAPI_FUNC(int) _PyDict_DelItemId(PyObject *mp, struct _Py_Identifier *key);

New functions added in this issue should also be reviewed (should them be part of the stable ABI?):

"Priority: release blocker" means that it should be done at least before Python 3.4 final. It may be delayed after the beta1.

New changeset 15bad3abfac9 by Martin v. Löwis in branch 'default':
Issue #19526: Exclude all new API from the stable ABI.

The procedure to obtain the new API was this: 

* write a C file 

#define Py_LIMITED_API
#include <Python.h>

* compile this with gcc -E | grep -v '#'

* diff and inspect the two preprocessor outputs. Ideally, they come out empty, but they currently show lots of (legitimate) const additions, and some reformattings
