 Swift 5.3
 ----------
 
+* [SE-0268][]:
+  
+  A `didSet` observer which does not refer to the `oldValue` in its body or does not explicitly request it by placing it in the parameter list (i.e. `didSet(oldValue)`) will no longer trigger a call to the property getter to fetch the `oldValue`.
+  
+  ```swift
+  class C {
+    var value: Int = 0 {
+      didSet { print("didSet called!") }
+    }
+  }
+  
+  let c = C()
+  // This does not trigger a call to the getter for 'value'
+  // because the 'didSet' observer on 'value' does not
+  // refer to the 'oldValue' in its body, which means
+  // the 'oldValue' does not need to be fetched.
+  c.value = 1
+  ```
+  
 * [SE-0276][]:
 
   Catch clauses in a `do`-`catch` statement can now include multiple patterns in a comma-separated list. The body of a `catch` clause will be executed if a thrown error matches any of its patterns.
