 **Other removals**
 
+- Removed the previously deprecated :func:`pandas.plotting._matplotlib.tsplot`, use :meth:`Series.plot` instead (:issue:`19980`)
+- :func:`pandas.tseries.converter.register` has been moved to :func:`pandas.plotting.register_matplotlib_converters` (:issue:`18307`)
+- :meth:`Series.plot` no longer accepts positional arguments, pass keyword arguments instead (:issue:`????`)
+- :meth:`DataFrame.hist` and :meth:`Series.hist` no longer allows ``figsize="default"``, specify figure size by passinig a tuple instead (:issue:`?????`)
 - Floordiv of integer-dtyped array by :class:`Timedelta` now raises ``TypeError`` (:issue:`21036`)
 - :func:`pandas.api.types.infer_dtype` argument ``skipna`` defaults to ``True`` instead of ``False`` (:issue:`24050`)
 - Removed the previously deprecated :meth:`Index.summary` (:issue:`18217`)
