@@ -34,6 +34,9 @@ release will remove the deprecated code.
 * The `gazebo` command line verb is deprecated.
   Use `sim` instead (e.g. `ign gazebo` -> `gz sim`).
 
+* The shared libraries have `gz` where there used to be `ignition`.
+  * Using the un-migrated version is still possible due to tick-tocks, but will be removed in future versions.
+
 * **Breaking Changes**
   * The project name has been changed to use the `gz-` prefix, you **must** use the `gz` prefix!
     * This also means that any generated code that use the project name (e.g. CMake variables, in-source macros) would have to be migrated.
