The output of a special Python build with defined COUNT_ALLOCS,
SHOW_ALLOC_COUNT or SHOW_TRACK_COUNT macros is now off by default. It can

Added methods trace_add, trace_remove and trace_info in the tkinter.Variable
class. They replace old methods trace_variable, trace, trace_vdelete and

no longer break tracing, trace_vinfo() now always returns a list of pairs of
strings, tracing in the "u" mode now works.
