+#### `toml.Tree` replacement
+
+This structure was the initial attempt at providing a document model for
+go-toml. It allows manipulating the structure of any document, encoding and
+decoding from their TOML representation. While a more robust feature was
+initially planned in go-toml v2, this has been ultimately [removed from
+scope][nodoc] of this library, with no plan to add it back at the moment. The
+closest equivalent at the moment would be to unmarshal into an `interface{}` and
+use type assertions and/or reflection to manipulate the arbitrary
+structure. However this would fall short of providing all of the TOML features
+such as adding comments and be specific about whitespace.
+
+
+#### `toml.Position` are not retrievable anymore
+
+The API for retrieving the position (line, column) of a specific TOML element do
+not exist anymore. This was done to minimize the amount of concepts introduced
+by the library (query path), and avoid the performance hit related to storing
+positions in the absence of a document model, for a feature that seemed to have
+little use. Errors however have gained more detailed position
+information. Position retrieval seems better fitted for a document model, which
+has been [removed from the scope][nodoc] of go-toml v2 at the moment.

@@ -422,6 +488,76 @@ There is no way to make v2 encoder behave like v1.
 
 [tm]: https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/#TextMarshaler
 
+#### `Encoder.CompactComments` has been removed
+
+Emitting compact comments is now the default behavior of go-toml. This option
+is not necessary anymore.
+
+#### Struct tags have been merged
+
+V1 used to provide multiple struct tags: `comment`, `commented`, `multiline`,
+`toml`, and `omitempty`. To behave more like the standard library, v2 has merged
+`toml`, `multiline`, and `omitempty`. For example:
+
+```go
+type doc struct {
+	// v1
+	F string `toml:"field" multiline:"true" omitempty:"true"`
+	// v2
+	F string `toml:"field,multiline,omitempty"`
+}
+```
+
+Has a result, the `Encoder.SetTag*` methods have been removed, as there is just
+one tag now.
+
+
+#### `commented` tag has been removed
+
+There is no replacement for the `commented` tag. This feature would be better
+suited in a proper document model for go-toml v2, which has been [cut from
+scope][nodoc] at the moment.
+
+#### `Encoder.ArraysWithOneElementPerLine` has been renamed
+
+The new name is `Encoder.SetArraysMultiline`. The behavior should be the same.
+
+#### `Encoder.Indentation` has been renamed
+
+The new name is `Encoder.SetIndentSymbol`. The behavior should be the same.
+
+
+#### Embedded structs behave like stdlib
+
+V1 defaults to merging embedded struct fields into the embedding struct. This
+behavior was unexpected because it does not follow the standard library. To
+avoid breaking backward compatibility, the `Encoder.PromoteAnonymous` method was
+added to make the encoder behave correctly. Given backward compatibility is not
+a problem anymore, v2 does the right thing by default: it follows the behavior
+of `encoding/json`. `Encoder.PromoteAnonymous` has been removed.
+
+[nodoc]: https://github.com/pelletier/go-toml/discussions/506#discussioncomment-1526038
+
+### `query`
+
+go-toml v1 provided the [`go-toml/query`][query] package. It allowed to run
+JSONPath-style queries on TOML files. This feature is not available in v2. For a
+replacement, check out [dasel][dasel].
+
+This package has been removed because it was essentially not supported anymore
+(last commit May 2020), increased the complexity of the code base, and more
+complete solutions exist out there.
