+- Some specialized Shallow water specific features will no longer be available directly in
+  `Trixi.jl`, but will be moved to a dedicated repository: [TrixiShallowWater.jl](https://github.com/trixi-framework/TrixiShallowWater.jl). This includes all features related to wetting and drying, as well as the `ShallowWaterTwoLayerEquations1D` and `ShallowWaterTwoLayerEquations2D`.
+  However, the basic Shallow water equations will continue to be part of `Trixi.jl`. We'll also be updating the `TrixiShallowWater.jl` documentation with instructions on how to use these relocated features in the future.
