 ### Breaking changes in the standard library
 
+- We removed `unicode.Rune16` without any deprecation period as the name
+  was wrong (see the [RFC](https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/151) for details)
+  and we didn't find any usages of it in the wild. If you still need it, add this
+  piece of code to your project:
+
+```nim
+
+type
+  Rune16* = distinct int16
+
+```
+
