-- Removes `withCarbonOffset` parameter from `create`, `buy`, and `regenerateRates` functions of the Shipment service as EasyPost now offers Carbon Neutral shipments by default for free
-- Removes the undocumented `createAndBuy` function from the `Batch` service. The proper usage is to create a batch first and buy it separately

+
+*Likelihood of Impact: **High***
+
+EasyPost now offers Carbon Neutral shipments by default for free! Because of this, there is no longer a need to specify if you want to offset the carbon footprint of a shipment.
+
+The `with_carbon_offset` parameter of the `create`, `buy`, and `regenerate_rates` shipment functions has been removed.
+
+This is a high-impact change for those using `EndShippers`, as the signature for the `create` and `buy` shipment functions have changed. You will need to inspect these callsites to ensure that the EndShipper parameter is being passed in the correct place.
+
+### 9.0 Create and Buy Batch Function Removed
+
+*Likelihood of Impact: **Low***
+
+The `create_and_buy` batch endpoint has been deprecated, and the `create_and_buy` Batch service function has been removed.
+
+The correct procedure is to first create a batch and then purchase it with two separate API calls.
+
 ## Upgrading from 7.x to 8.0
 
+**NOTICE:** v8 is deprecated.
