+## Deprecations and removals
+
+- The support of `Amiramesh` is dropped in dune-grid and thus the program `linear-elasticity` is removed from CMakeLists.txt
+
+# 2.8 Release
 
 - Introduce class `LocalDensity` for material-specific implementations
 - Introduce class `LocalIntegralEnergy` to work with the densities
