Mmh, we have not changed the dreload() command in many, many years, if
ever.  What specifically do you see as a change?  The dreload function
is called with a module:

dreload(sys)

and it will attempt to recursively reload all of its dependencies.
Note that dreload is fairly brittle, and it does *not* always work.
It's old and very delicate code that nobody has ever had the time to
dig into (it was written by Ka-Ping Yee years ago as a standalone
project, and we used it since IPython's start).

But since I don't think we've changed anything regarding dreload(),
I'm curious as to what you are seeing.

Cheers,
