CPython bytecode changes
2246+
------------------------
2247+
2248+
There have been several major changes to the :term:`bytecode` in Python 3.6.
2249+
2250+
* The Python interpreter now uses a 16-bit wordcode instead of bytecode.
2251+
(Contributed by Demur Rumed with input and reviews from
2252+
Serhiy Storchaka and Victor Stinner in :issue:`26647` and :issue:`28050`.)
2253+
2254+
* The new :opcode:`FORMAT_VALUE` and :opcode:`BUILD_STRING` opcodes as part
2255+
of the :ref:`formatted string literal <whatsnew36-pep498>` implementation.
2256+
(Contributed by Eric Smith in :issue:`25483` and
2257+
Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`27078`.)
2258+
2259+
* The new :opcode:`BUILD_CONST_KEY_MAP` opcode to optimize the creation
2260+
of dictionaries with constant keys.
2261+
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`27140`.)
2262+
2263+
* The function call opcodes have been heavily reworked for better performance
2264+
and simpler implementation.
2265+
The :opcode:`MAKE_FUNCTION`, :opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION`,
2266+
:opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION_KW` and :opcode:`BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` opcodes
2267+
have been modified, the new :opcode:`CALL_FUNCTION_EX` and
2268+
:opcode:`BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL` have been added, and
2269+
``CALL_FUNCTION_VAR``, ``CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW`` and ``MAKE_CLOSURE`` opcodes
2270+
have been removed.
2271+
(Contributed by Demur Rumed in :issue:`27095`, and Serhiy Storchaka in
2272+
:issue:`27213`, :issue:`28257`.)
2273+
2274+
* The new :opcode:`SETUP_ANNOTATIONS` and :opcode:`STORE_ANNOTATION` opcodes
2275+
have been added to support the new :term:`variable annotation` syntax.
2276+
(Contributed by Ivan Levkivskyi in :issue:`27985`.)
