All the release notes for 3.14 say about reference counting changes boil down to "some changes were made, and they may be lower than in previous versions." Please document how C-API users might need to adapt their code to those changes. We are having a problem in 3.14 specifically where we are getting negative reference count errors thrown when we build with debug symbols. If we build with previous versions, we get perfectly fine reference counts. It's really hard to fix our code if we don't know what you changed.
