+DEPRECATIONS SUMMARY
+
+* The abstract factory pattern used to enable pluggable implementations in the
+  statistics, analysis and distributions packages has been deprecated and
+  replaced by setter injection.  
+  
+* Non-localized exception messages and associated constructors have been
+  deprecated and replaced by localized versions.
+  
+* Most methods from the ComplexUtils class have been deprecated, with
+  implementations moved to the Complex class.
+  
+See "clirr-report.html" included in the binary distribution for a detailed list
+of API changes. The "errors" reported at the top of the report are due to
+protected fields being moved to superclasses.  These fields are still available,
+so there is no backward compatibility issue.
