 - `buildFHSEnvChroot` has been removed after deprecation in 23.05.
 
+- `gh-actions-cache` has been removed since its functionality has been integrated directly into `gh` (`gh cache`). See [upstream readme](https://github.com/actions/gh-actions-cache).
+
 - `requireFile` now sets `meta.license = lib.licenses.unfree` by default. Users of `requireFile`-based derivations that preserve this default will need to explicitly allow their evaluation as described in [](#sec-allow-unfree).
 
 - `librest` providing 0.7 ABI was removed. `librest_1_0` providing 1.0 ABI was renamed to `librest` and `librest_1_0` was kept as an alias.
