+- specfile:
+  * delete patch cffi-loader.patch; included upstream
+
+- update to version 1.11.4:
+  * Windows: reverted linking with python3.dll, because virtualenv
+    does not make this DLL available to virtual environments for
+    now. See Issue #355. On Windows only, the C extension modules
+    created by cffi follow for now the standard naming scheme
+    foo.cp36-win32.pyd, to make it clear that they are regular CPython
+    modules depending on python36.dll.
+
+- changes from version 1.11.3:
+  * Fix on CPython 3.x: reading the attributes __loader__ or __spec__
+    from the cffi-generated lib modules gave a buggy
+    SystemError. (These attributes are always None, and provided only
+    to help compatibility with tools that expect them in all modules.)
+  * More Windows fixes: workaround for MSVC not supporting large
+    literal strings in C code (from
+    ffi.embedding_init_code(large_string)); and an issue with
+    Py_LIMITED_API linking with python35.dll/python36.dll instead of
+    python3.dll.
+  * Small documentation improvements.
