+This includes the following:
+
+- Deprecated ``telegram.constants.StarTransactionsLimit.NANOSTAR_MIN_AMOUNT`` and ``telegram.constants.StarTransactionsLimit.NANOSTAR_MAX_AMOUNT``. These members will be replaced by ``telegram.constants.NanostarLimit.MIN_AMOUNT`` and ``telegram.constants.NanostarLimit.MAX_AMOUNT``.
+- Deprecated the class ``telegram.constants.StarTransactions``. Its only member ``telegram.constants.StarTransactions.NANOSTAR_VALUE`` will be replaced by ``telegram.constants.Nanostar.VALUE``.
+- Bot API 9.0 deprecated ``BusinessConnection.can_reply`` in favor of ``BusinessConnection.rights``
+- Bot API 9.0 deprecated ``ChatFullInfo.can_send_gift`` in favor of ``ChatFullInfo.accepted_gift_types``.
+- Bot API 9.0 introduced these new required fields to existing classes:
+  - ``TransactionPartnerUser.transaction_type``
+  - ``ChatFullInfo.accepted_gift_types``
+
+  Passing these values as positional arguments is deprecated. We encourage you to use keyword arguments instead, as the the signature will be updated in a future release.
+
+These deprecations are backward compatible, but we strongly recommend to update your code to use the new members.
