+- Pickling ordered bidicts now requires

+  If you are using Python 3,
+  :attr:`pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL` is 3 anyway,
+  so this will not affect you.
+  However if you are using in Python 2,
+  :attr:`~pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL` is 0,

+  in your :func:`pickle.dumps` calls,
+  e.g. ``pickle.dumps(ob, 2)``.
