@@ -83,6 +83,7 @@ Changes in FluidSynth 2.0.0 concerning developers:
 - remove deprecated fluid_synth_select_tuning(), use fluid_synth_activate_tuning(synth, chan, bank, prog, FALSE) instead
 - remove deprecated fluid_synth_reset_tuning(), use fluid_synth_deactivate_tuning(synth, chan, FALSE) instead
 - remove deprecated FLUID_HINT_INTEGER
+- remove deprecated fluid_synth_set_gen2() as there doesnt seem to be a use case for absolute generator values
 - remove misspelled FLUID_SEQ_PITCHWHHELSENS macro
 - remove obsolete "audio.[out|in]put-channels" settings
 - remove unimplemented "synth.dump" setting
