+* Remove the :c:type:`Py_UNICODE` encoder APIs,
+ as they have been deprecated since Python 3.3,
+ are little used
+ and are inefficient relative to the recommended alternatives.
+
+ The removed functions are:
+
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_Encode`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeASCII`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeLatin1`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeUTF8`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeUTF32`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeUnicodeEscape`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeCharmap`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_TranslateCharmap`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal`
+ * :func:`!PyUnicode_TransformDecimalToASCII`
+
+ See :pep:`624` for details and
+ :pep:`migration guidance <624#alternative-apis>`.
