+Incremental garbage collection
+------------------------------
+
+The cycle garbage collector is now incremental.
+This means that maximum pause times are reduced
+by an order of magnitude or more for larger heaps.
+
+There are now only two generations: young and old.
+When :func:`gc.collect` is not called directly, the
+GC is invoked a little less frequently. When invoked, it
+collects the young generation and an increment of the
+old generation, instead of collecting one or more generations.
+
+The behavior of :func:`!gc.collect` changes slightly:
+
+* ``gc.collect(1)``: Performs an increment of garbage collection,
+  rather than collecting generation 1.
+* Other calls to :func:`!gc.collect` are unchanged.

+The cyclic garbage collector is now incremental,
+which changes the meaning of the results of
+:meth:`~gc.get_threshold` and :meth:`~gc.set_threshold`
+as well as :meth:`~gc.get_count` and :meth:`~gc.get_stats`.
+
+* For backwards compatibility, :meth:`~gc.get_threshold` continues to return
+  a three-item tuple.
+  The first value is the threshold for young collections, as before;
+  the second value determines the rate at which the old collection is scanned
+  (the default is 10, and higher values mean that the old collection
+  is scanned more slowly).
+  The third value is meaningless and is always zero.
+
+* :meth:`~gc.set_threshold` ignores any items after the second.
+
+* :meth:`~gc.get_count` and :meth:`~gc.get_stats` continue to return
+  the same format of results.
+  The only difference is that instead of the results referring to
+  the young, aging and old generations,
+  the results refer to the young generation
+  and the aging and collecting spaces of the old generation.
+
+In summary, code that attempted to manipulate the behavior of the cycle GC
+may not work exactly as intended, but it is very unlikely to be harmful.
+All other code will work just fine.
