  Changes
 =========
 
-4.6.3 (unreleased)
+4.7.0 (unreleased)
 ==================
 
-- Nothing changed yet.
+- Make ``PersistentAdapterRegistry`` use persistent objects
+  (``PersistentMapping`` and ``PersistentList``) for its internal data
+  structures instead of plain dicts and lists. This helps make it
+  scalable to larger registry sizes.
 
+  To take advantage of this, you need zope.interface 5.3 or later
+  (earlier versions continue to work, but do not allow this
+  optimization).
+
+  New registries (and their primary user, ``PersistentComponents`` and
+  zope.site's ``LocalSiteManager``) take full advantage of this
+  automatically. For existing persistent registries to take advantage
+  of this, you must call their ``rebuild()`` method and commit the
+  transaction.
+
+  See `issue 51 <https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.component/issues/51>`_.

     """
     An adapter registry that is also a persistent object.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 4.7.0
+        Internal data structures are now composed of
+        :class:`persistent.mapping.PersistentMapping` and
+        :class:`persistent.list.PersistentList`. This helps scale to
+        larger registries.
+
+        Previously they were :class:`dict`, :class:`list` and
+        :class:`tuple`, meaning that as soon as this object was
+        unpickled, the entire registry tree had to be unpickled, and
+        when a change was made (an object registered or unregisterd),
+        the entire registry had to be pickled. Now, only the parts
+        that are in use are loaded, and only the parts that are
+        modified are stored.
+
+        The above applies without reservation to newly created
+        instances. For existing persistent instances, however, the
+        data will continue to be in dicts and tuples, with some few
+        exceptions for newly added or changed data.
+
+        To fix this, call :meth:`rebuild` and commit the transaction.
+        This will rewrite the internal data structures to use the new
+        types.
