+- Removed deprecated parameter `epsilon` of `skimage.viewer.LineProfile`
+- Removed backwards-compatability of `skimage.measure.regionprops`
+- Removed {`ratio`, `sigma`} deprecation warnings of `skimage.segmentation.slic`
+  and also remove explicit `sigma` parameter from doc-string example
+- Changed default mode of random_walker segmentation to 'cg_mg' > 'cg' > 'bf',
+  depending on which optional dependencies are available.
+- Removed deprecated `out` parameter of `skimage.morphology.binary_*`
+- Removed deprecated parameter `depth` in `skimage.segmentation.random_walker`
