 ## [Unreleased]
+## Added
+- SoftDeleteable: `Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\Mapping\Event::createPreSoftDeleteEventArgs()` and `Gedmo\SoftDeleteable\Mapping\Event::createPostSoftDeleteEventArgs()` methods.
+
 ### Changed
 - Dropped support for PHP < 7.4
 - Dropped support for Symfony < 5.4
 
 ### Deprecated
 - Calling `Gedmo\Mapping\Event\Adapter\ORM::getObjectManager()` and `getObject()` on EventArgs that do not implement `getObjectManager()` and `getObject()` (such as old EventArgs implementing `getEntityManager()` and `getEntity()`) 
-- Calling `Gedmo\Uploadable\Event\UploadableBaseEventArgs::getEntityManager()` and `getEntity()`. Call `getObjectManager()` and `getObject()` instead. 
+- Calling `Gedmo\Uploadable\Event\UploadableBaseEventArgs::getEntityManager()` and `getEntity()`. Call `getObjectManager()` and `getObject()` instead.
+- `Gedmo\Mapping\Event\AdapterInterface::createLifecycleEventArgsInstance()` method.
 
 ## [3.13.0] - 2023-09-06
 ### Fixed
 - References: fixed condition in `XML` Driver that did not allow to retrieve from the entity definition the `mappedBy` and `inversedBy` fields.
 - Fix bug collecting metadata for inherited mapped classes
 
-### Deprecated
-- SoftDeleteable: function `createLifecycleEventArgsInstance` is deprecated. Use `createPreSoftDeleteEventArgs` and `createPostSoftDeleteEventArgs` instead.
-
 ## [3.12.0] - 2023-07-08
 ### Added
 - Tree: `setSibling()` and `getSibling()` methods in the `Node` interface through the BC `@method` annotation
