#. When creating an :ref:`pool-amc` pool, :c:func:`mps_pool_create_k`
accepts the new keyword argument :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY`,
specifying the minimum size of the memory segments that the pool
requests from the :term:`arena`.

#. :ref:`pool-amc` pools now assert that exact references into the
pool are aligned to the pool's alignment. See job002175_.

#. Internal calculation of the address space available to the MPS no
longer takes time proportional to the number of times the arena has
been extended, speeding up allocation when memory is tight. See
job003814_.

:c:macro:`MPS_RES_COMMIT_LIMIT` rather than substituting

garbage collections of the generation that the pool belongs to. (In
release 1.113.0, the generation would only be collected if a pool
of some other class allocated into it.) See job003772_.

#. The default assertion handler in the default :term:`plinth` now
flushes the telemetry stream before aborting. See
:c:func:`mps_lib_assert_fail`.
#. Garbage collection performance is substantially improved in the
situation where the arena has been extended many time. Critical
operations now take time logarithmic in the number of times the
arena has been extended (rather than linear, as in version 1.113
and earlier). See job003554_.
