   * incompatible changes:
     * open ignore internal encoding if external encoding is ASCII-8BIT.
 
+* Kernel#eval, Kernel#instance_eval, and Module#module_eval.
+  * Copies the scope information of the original environment, which means
+    that private, protected, public, and module_function without arguments
+    do not affect the environment outside the eval string.
+    For example, `class Foo; eval "private"; def foo; end; end' doesn't make
+    Foo#foo private.
+
 * Kernel#untrusted?, untrust, and trust
   * These methods are deprecated and their behavior is same as tainted?,
     taint, and untaint, respectively.  If $VERBOSE is true, they show warnings.
