-## NOTES
-
-### Version 4.0.0

-- Support for the previously deprecated `whitelist` GUCs is removed. Please update your config to the new `allowlist` equivalent otherwise the default values for the `allowlist` GUCs will be in effect potentially allowing undesired privilege escalation.
-
-### Version 2.0.1
-
-- NOTICE fixed to only display on first reference to non-default deprecated
-  variable.
-- Deprecated GUCs are removed from `SHOW ALL`.
-
-### Version 2.0.0
-
-- Use of GUCs with `whitelist` have been deprecated in lieu of a more
-  appropriate `allowlist`. The last GUC set by `ALTER SYSTEM` will be used on
-  reload, the first attempt to `SHOW` a deprecated variable will provide a
-  NOTICE.
