 *Release date: 20XX-XX-XX*
 
+- https://github.com/stackless-dev/stackless/issues/190
+  Silently ignore attempts to close a running generator, coroutine or
+  asynchronous generator. This avoids spurious error messages, if such an
+  object is deallocated as part of a paused, restorable tasklet.
+
 - https://github.com/stackless-dev/stackless/issues/193
   Fix the macros PyTasklet_CheckExact(op) and PyChannel_CheckExact(op).
   Previously they contained a reference to a non existing variable.
