 ## Changes
 
+20251003: Support for the undocumented `max_stepper_error` option in
+the `[printer]` config section has been removed.
+
 20250916: The definitions of EI, 2HUMP_EI, and 3HUMP_EI input shapers
 were updated. For best performance it is recommended to recalibrate
 input shapers, especially if some of these shapers are currently used.
