* Promote _PyObject_Dump() as a public function.
* Keep _PyObject_Dump() alias to PyUnstable_Object_Dump()
for backward compatibility.
* Replace _PyObject_Dump() with PyUnstable_Object_Dump().

instead of the :func:`repr`.
+.. c:function:: void PyUnstable_Object_Dump(PyObject *op)
+
+ Dump an object *op* to ``stderr``. This should only be used for debugging.
+
+ The output is intended to try dumping objects even after memory corruption:
+
+ * Information is written starting with fields that are the least likely to
+ crash when accessed.
+ * This function can be called without an :term:`attached thread state`, but
+ it's not recommended to do so: it can cause deadlocks.
+ * An object that does not belong to the current interpreter may be dumped,
+ but this may also cause crashes or unintended behavior.
+ * Implement a heuristic to detect if the object memory has been freed. Don't
+ display the object contents in this case, only its memory address.
+ * The output format may change at any time.
+
+ Example of output:
+
+ .. code-block:: output
+
+ object address : 0x7f80124702c0
+ object refcount : 2
+ object type : 0x9902e0
+ object type name: str
+ object repr : 'abcdef'
+
+ .. versionadded:: next
+
+
.. c:function:: int PyObject_HasAttrWithError(PyObject *o, PyObject *attr_name)
Returns ``1`` if *o* has the attribute *attr_name*, and ``0`` otherwise.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`129813`.)
+* Add a new :c:func:`PyImport_CreateModuleFromInitfunc` C-API for creating
+ a module from a *spec* and *initfunc*.
+ (Contributed by Itamar Oren in :gh:`116146`.)
+
* Add :c:func:`PyTuple_FromArray` to create a :class:`tuple` from an array.
(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`111489`.)
+* Add :c:func:`PyUnstable_Object_Dump` to dump an object to ``stderr``.
+ It should only be used for debugging.
+ (Contributed by Victor Stinner in :gh:`141070`.)
+
* Add :c:func:`PyUnstable_ThreadState_SetStackProtection` and
:c:func:`PyUnstable_ThreadState_ResetStackProtection` functions to set
the stack protection base address and stack protection size of a Python
thread state.
