+# Migrating to v2
+
+While not a replacement of the [Nautobot Migration guide](https://docs.nautobot.com/projects/core/en/stable/development/apps/migration/from-v1/) these migration steps specifically for Nautobot Plugin Nornir are pretty straight forward, here is a quick overview with details information below.
+
+1. Ensure `Platform.network_driver` is set on every `Platform` object you have, in most circumstances running `nautobot-server populate_platform_network_driver` will take care of it.
+2. Remove any `dispatcher_mapping` settings you have in your `nautobot_config.py` settings, see Golden Config for alternative options.
+3. Configure your Location settings, if you do not want all locations becoming grouped with the `allowed_location_types` or `denied_location_types` settings.
+
+!!! warning
+    Before you start, please note the `nautobot-server populate_platform_network_driver` command **must be ran in Nautobot 1.6.2 -> 1.6.X** as it will not work once on Nautobot 2.0.
+
+## Platform Network Driver
+
+The `Platform.slug` has been replace by Nautobot's `Platform.network_driver`. The nice thing about this feature is it provides mappings to all of the major network library (or frameworks) such as Netmiko and NAPALM to properly map between the slightly different names each library provides, such as `cisco_ios` vs `ios`. However, that means that you must now provide the network_driver on the the Platform object.
+
+While still on a Nautobot 1.6 instance, run the command `nautobot-server populate_platform_network_driver`, this will help map all of your `Platform.slug`'s to `Platform.network_driver`. If there are any Platform's missed, you must go in and update the Platforms that will be used by Nautobot Plugin Nornir.
+
+## Dispatcher Settings
+
+The `dispatcher_mapping` configuration has been removed. The use cases covered by it was:
+
+1. The default dispatcher does not support your vendor
+2. The default dispatcher uses a connectivity model (e.g. 443) that is not compatible with your environment
+3. The default dispatcher does not work for your older hardware
+4. The default dispatcher leverages a network_driver name you do not use
+
+Use cases 2 & 4 are covered natively by nornir-nautobot now and for 1 & 3 nautobot-plugin-nornir does not actually directly call the dispatcher and should be pushed off to other systems, such as Golden Config. If you are using Golden Config and fit within use cases 1 & 3, please see Golden Config's documentation.
+
+!!! warning
+    Golden Config provides the `custom_dispatcher` method, these settings should go to the `nautobot_golden_config` settings and **NOT** the `nautobot_plugin_nornir` settings.
+
+## Location Information
+
+Previously there were inventory groups automatically created out of each `Region` and `Site` object, with moving everything to `Location` there will automatically be created groups by each of those. This may lead to odd cases in which always having every Location as a group is not desirable. 
+
+Take for instance, you have multiple Locations that are on "floor04" as an example perhaps `nyc-floor04` and `sfo-floor04`, creating grouping in this case may create more confusion than help. For that reason, locations can be allowed or denied based on their `LocationType`. See the [docs](../user/app_feature_inventory.md#inventory-groupings) for more information on how to configure `allowed_location_types` or `denied_location_types`.

+# v2.0 Release Notes
+
+This document describes all new features and changes in the release `2.0`. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/) and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## Release Overview
+
+- Updated `nautobot` to `2.0.0` and made associated changes.
+- Added a standard way to provide error codes.
+- Removed dispatcher mapping.
+- Provided a mechanism to allow for Location Groupings to be configurable.
+
+
+## [v2.0.0] - 2023-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Updated `nautobot` to `2.0.0`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Removed `dispatcher_mapping` a similar functionality can be found in Nautobot's Golden Config plugin, but simplified version in nornir-nautobot means this is no longer required.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Moved all references of `Platform.slug` to `Platform.network_driver`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Removed references to `.slug` for Nautobot core models and changed to `.name`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Moved all references of `Site` or `Region` to `Location`.
+
+### Added
+
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Plugin config `allowed_location_types` to limit what locations are **allowed** based on location types, specifically from `LocationType.name`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Plugin config `denied_location_types` to limit what locations are turned **denied** based on location types, specifically from `LocationType.name`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Added early failure with message when settings are in the wrong location such as `dispatcher_mapping` or `custom_dispatcher`.
+- [#117](https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-nornir/issues/117) - Added error code framework.

+# Troubleshooting Overview
+
+In an effort to help with troubleshooting, each expected error, will now emit an error ID, in the format of `E2XXX`, such as `E2004: Platform network_driver missing from device {device.name}, preemptively failed.`. The idea will be to define the error, the error message and some recommended troubleshooting steps or even potentially some fixes.
+
+This is an ongoing effort, but the foundation has been built.
+
+Within the Nautobot ecosystem, you may see various errors, they are distributed between 3 libraries as followed.
