+**BREAKING CHANGES**
+
+The following functions have been re-exported from the `scaffolder-backend` plugin for quite some time, and now it's time to clean them up. They've been moved as follows:
+
+- `SerializedTask`, `SerializedTaskEvent`, `TaskBroker`, `TaskBrokerDispatchOptions`, `TaskBrokerDispatchResult`, `TaskCompletionState`, `TaskContext`, `TaskEventType`, `TaskStatus`, `TemplateFilter`, and `TemplateGlobal` should be imported from `@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-node` instead.
+
+- The deprecated `copyWithoutRender` option has been removed from `fetch:template` action. You should rename the option to `copyWithoutTemplating` instead.

+
+**DEPRECATIONS**
+
+The following types and implementations have been deprecated, either because they're no longer relevant, or because upcoming changes to the `scaffolder-backend` after `2.0.0` will influence the changes to these API surfaces.
+
+- `CreateWorkerOptions`
+- `DatabaseTaskStore`
+- `DatabaseTaskStoreOptions`
+- `TaskManager`
+- `TaskStoreCreateTaskOptions`
+- `TaskStoreCreateTaskResult`
+- `TaskStoreEmitOptions`
+- `TaskStoreListEventsOptions`
+- `TaskStoreRecoverTaskOptions`
+- `TaskStoreShutDownTaskOptions`
+
+There is no current path off deprecation, these types are going to be removed and rethought with a better way to define workers in the new backend system.
