+
+Remove Effect.unified and Effect.unifiedFn in favour of Unify.unify.
+
+The `Unify` module fully replaces the need for specific unify functions, when before you did:
+
+```ts
+import { Effect } from "effect";
+
+const effect = Effect.unified(
+  Math.random() > 0.5 ? Effect.succeed("OK") : Effect.fail("NO")
+);
+const effectFn = Effect.unifiedFn((n: number) =>
+  Math.random() > 0.5 ? Effect.succeed("OK") : Effect.fail("NO")
+);
+```
+
+You can now do:
+
+```ts
+import { Effect, Unify } from "effect";
+
+const effect = Unify.unify(
+  Math.random() > 0.5 ? Effect.succeed("OK") : Effect.fail("NO")
+);
+const effectFn = Unify.unify((n: number) =>
+  Math.random() > 0.5 ? Effect.succeed("OK") : Effect.fail("NO")
+);
+```
