 Removed
 =======
 
+* Several names deprecated in the :mod:`configparser` way back in 3.2 have
+  been removed per :gh:`89336`:
+
+  * :class:`configparser.ParsingError` no longer has a ``filename`` attribute
+    or argument. Use the ``source`` attribute and argument instead.
+  * :mod:`configparser` no longer has a ``SafeConfigParser`` class. Use the
+    shorter :class:`~configparser.ConfigParser` name instead.
+  * :class:`configparser.ConfigParser` no longer has a ``readfp`` method.
+    Use :meth:`~configparser.ConfigParser.read_file` instead.
+
 * The following undocumented :mod:`sqlite3` features, deprecated in Python
   3.10, are now removed:
