 - The ability to call `logs:failed` without specifying an app or `--all` flag has been removed. This was deprecated in 0.22.0. Please see the [logs:failed](/docs/deployment/logs.md#failed-deploy-logs).
+- The following app shell functions - deprecated since 0.20.0 - have been removed in favor of their plugin trigger equivalents. Sourcing the `app/functions` file will fail going forward.
+    - `apps#apps_create()` is removed in favor of `plugn trigger app-create`.
+    - `apps#apps_destroy()` is removed in favor of `plugn trigger app-destroy`.
+    - `apps#apps_exists()` is removed in favor of `plugn trigger app-exists`.
+    - `apps#apps_maybe_create()` is removed in favor of `plugn trigger app-maybe-create`.
