   * `convert` methods from `Diagonal` and `Bidiagonal` to subtypes of
     `AbstractTriangular` have been deprecated ([#17723]).
 
+  * `Base.LinAlg.arithtype` has been deprecated. If you were using `arithtype` within a
+    `promote_op` call, instead use `promote_op(Base.LinAlg.matprod, Ts...)`. Otherwise,
+    consider defining equivalent functionality locally ([#18218]).

   * Special characters (`#{}()[]<>|&*?~;`) should now be quoted in commands. For example,
     ``` `export FOO=1\;` ``` should replace ``` `export FOO=1;` ``` and
     ``` `cd $dir '&&' $thingie` ``` should replace ``` `cd $dir && $thingie` ``` ([#19786]).
