+* [`Lean.Meta.getConst?` has been renamed](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2454).
+  We have renamed `getConst?` to `getUnfoldableConst?` (and `getConstNoEx?` to `getUnfoldableConstNoEx?`).
+  These were not intended to be part of the public API, but downstream projects had been using them
+  (sometimes expecting different behaviour) incorrectly instead of `Lean.getConstInfo`.
+
 * [`dsimp` / `simp` / `simp_all` now fail by default if they make no progress](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/2336).
 
   This can be overriden with the `(config := { failIfUnchanged := false })` option.
