### Breaking changes
You must make the following changes when you migrate to this release, or your service may break.

#### Remove deprecated $govuk-border-width-form-element-error
To make sure the border width of form elements in their error state is the same as form elements in their normal state, we've deprecated the `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` setting.
#### Remove deprecated `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` variable
In [GOV.UK Frontend version 3.8.0](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/releases/tag/v3.8.0), we made the border width of form elements in their error state the same as for form elements in their normal state, and deprecated the `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` variable.

You must remove this setting. Otherwise, you would have to conditionally add overrides if users changed the `$govuk-border-width-form-element` to maintain a consistent focus state.
We've now removed `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` completely.

This was added in [pull request 1963: Remove deprecated `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` setting](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1963).
If you’re referencing `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` in your own Sass, you must remove this variable. If you're also defining your own error state, you only need to change the border colour.

You should avoid overriding the border width. For example, replace `border: $govuk-border-width-form-element-error solid $govuk-error-colour;` with `border-color: $govuk-error-colour;`.

You should also remove any override of `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` from your Sass. This override no longer does anything.

This was added in [pull request 1963: Remove deprecated `$govuk-border-width-form-element-error` variable](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/1963).
