+``````````````````````````````
+
+The following deprecated rcParams have been removed:
+- ``axes.color_cycle`` (see ``axes.prop_cycle``),
+- ``legend.isaxes``,
+- ``svg.embed_char_paths`` (see ``svg.fonttype``),
+- ``text.fontstyle``, ``text.fontangle``, ``text.fontvariant``,
+  ``text.fontweight``, ``text.fontsize`` (renamed to ``text.style``, etc.),
+- ``tick.size`` (renamed to ``tick.major.size``).
