   - Description: `ClosureCaptureSyntax` now has an `initializer` property instead of `equal` and `expression`. Additionally, the `name` property is no longer optional.
   - Pull request: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-syntax/pull/2763 
 
+- `Indenter` in `SwiftSyntaxBuilder` has been deprecated in favor of the new `indented(by:)` in `SwiftBasicFormat`.
+  - Description: Indenting is really more of a formatting operation than a syntax-building operation. Additionally, the `indented(by:)` method is more intuitive to use than a `SyntaxRewriter`. Aside from `BasicFormat`, there are no other public `SyntaxRewriter` classes in the package.

 ## API-Incompatible Changes
 
 - Moved `Radix` and `IntegerLiteralExprSyntax.radix` from `SwiftRefactor` to `SwiftSyntax`.
