 Improvements
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+- The checker option ``optin.cplusplus.VirtualCall:PureOnly`` was removed,
+  because it had been deprecated since 2019 and it is completely useless (it
+  was kept only for compatibility with pre-2019 versions, setting it to true is
+  equivalent to completely disabling the checker).

 Moved checkers
