-## Changes when updating to v0.10 from v0.9.x
-
-#### Changed
-
-- The `PairedExplicitRK2` constructor with second argument `base_path_monomial_coeffs::AbstractString` requires 
-  now `dt_opt`, `b1`, `cS` to be given as keyword arguments ([#2184]).
-  Previously, those where standard function parameters, in the same order as listed above.
