 The new behavior uses a Mash so that the attributes will work as expected.
 
+### Ohai's system_profile plugin for macOS removed
+
+We removed the system_profile plugin because it incorrectly returned data on modern Mac systems. If you relied on this plugin, you'll want to update recipes to use `node['hardware']` instead, which correctly returns the same data, but in a more easily consumed format. Removing this plugin speeds up Ohai (and Chef) by ~3 seconds and dramatically reduces the size of the node object on the Chef server.
+
+### Ohai's Ohai::Util::Win32::GroupHelper class has been removed
+
+We removed the Ohai::Util::Win32::GroupHelper helper class from Ohai. This class was intended for use internally in several Windows plugins, but it was never marked private in the codebase. If any of your Ohai plugins rely on this helper class, you will need to update your plugins for Ohai 15.
