 - Breaking Changes
 
     - Removed macros
+    - No longer setting parser's `prog` value in `with_argparser()` since it gets set in
+      `Cmd._build_parser()`. This code had previously been restored to support backward
+      compatibility in `cmd2` 2.0 family.
 
 - Enhancements
     - Simplified the process to set a custom parser for `cmd2's` built-in commands. See
