   * `bitbroadcast` has been deprecated in favor of `broadcast`, which now produces a
     `BitArray` instead of `Array{Bool}` for functions yielding a boolean result ([#19771]).
 
+  * To complete the deprecation of histogram-related functions, `midpoints` has been
+    deprecated. Instead use the
+    [StatsBase.jl package](https://github.com/JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl)'s
