+### The Go types in the `stats` package were moved to the `metrics` package [#2433](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/2433)
+
+For convenience and to facilitate further developments, the types and functionalities that used to live in k6's `stats` package have been moved to the `metrics` package. The `stats` package is, as of **v0.38.0**, removed in favor of the `metrics` package. Besides, [#2442](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/2442) removed the `stats.New` function in favor of initializing new metric via a `register.NewMetric` call instead.

 ### Deprecation
 
 -   [#2499](https://github.com/grafana/k6/pull/2499) removed support for the deprecated maxVUs option.
