 # Changelog
 
+## 3.23.0 (2026-10-28)
+
+### Features
+
+#### Use Billing Requests instead of Redirect Flows and Payer Authorisations
+
+Redirect Flows and Payer Authorisations are legacy APIs and cannot be used by new integrators. If you use `client.redirect_flows` and `client.payer_authorisations`, migrate to [Billing Requests](https://developer.gocardless.com/api-reference/#billing-requests), which cover the same flows (and more) through a single API. The [integration planner](https://docs.gocardless.com/docs/collect-payments/integration-planner) is a good place to start.
+
+The legacy methods are now marked as deprecated with a `DeprecationWarning` at runtime and a `Deprecated:` docstring note. Behaviour is unchanged. Python hides `DeprecationWarning` by default outside `__main__` and test runners, but projects running with `-W error` will see these calls fail until they migrate.
