-The `editor.selection.setContent` method has been deprecated in {productname} {release-version}.

Integrators are advised to use the supported `editor.insertContent` method for reliable content insertion.
+The `fire()` method was originally deprecated in {productname} 6 in favor of the `dispatch()` method for event handling, but was never removed from the codebase. {productname} {release-version} now displays a deprecation warning when the `fire()` method is used, serving as a final notice before its removal in {productname} 9.
 
-This deprecation helps reduce confusion and aligns content insertion with {productname}'s supported APIs.
