 - **Minor change**: Heterogeneous tuples are now unstructured into tuples instead of lists by default; this is significantly faster and widely supported by serialization libraries.

+- **Minor change**: {py:func}`cattrs.gen.make_dict_structure_fn` will use the value for the `prefer_attrib_converters` parameter from the given converter by default now.
+  If you're using this function directly, the old behavior can be restored by passing in the desired values explicitly.
 - Introduce {meth}`BaseConverter.get_structure_hook` and {meth}`BaseConverter.get_unstructure_hook` methods.
