 ## Miscellaneous changes
 
+* lib/objspace/trace.rb is added, which is a tool for tracing the object
+  allocation. Just by requiring this file, tracing is started *immediately*.
+  Just by `Kernel#p`, you can investigate where an object was created.
+  Note that just requiring this file brings a large performance overhead.
+  This is only for debugging purpose. Do not use this in production.
