+AST Matchers
+------------
+The AST matcher functions were renamed to reflect the exact AST node names,
+which is a breaking change to AST matching code. The following matchers were
+affected:
+
+=======================        ============================
+Previous Matcher Name  New Matcher Name
+=======================        ============================
+recordDecl             recordDecl and cxxRecordDecl
+ctorInitializer                cxxCtorInitializer
+constructorDecl                cxxConstructorDecl
+destructorDecl         cxxDestructorDecl
+methodDecl             cxxMethodDecl
+conversionDecl         cxxConversionDecl
+memberCallExpr         cxxMemberCallExpr
+constructExpr          cxxConstructExpr
+unresolvedConstructExpr        cxxUnresolvedConstructExpr
+thisExpr               cxxThisExpr
+bindTemporaryExpr      cxxBindTemporaryExpr
+newExpr                        cxxNewExpr
+deleteExpr             cxxDeleteExpr
+defaultArgExpr         cxxDefaultArgExpr
+operatorCallExpr       cxxOperatorCallExpr
+forRangeStmt           cxxForRangeStmt
+catchStmt              cxxCatchStmt
+tryStmt                        cxxTryStmt
+throwExpr              cxxThrowExpr
+boolLiteral            cxxBoolLiteral
+nullPtrLiteralExpr     cxxNullPtrLiteralExpr
+reinterpretCastExpr    cxxReinterpretCastExpr
+staticCastExpr         cxxStaticCastExpr
+dynamicCastExpr                cxxDynamicCastExpr
+constCastExpr          cxxConstCastExpr
+functionalCastExpr     cxxFunctionalCastExpr
+temporaryObjectExpr    cxxTemporaryObjectExpr
+CUDAKernalCallExpr     cudaKernelCallExpr
+=======================        ============================
+
+recordDecl() previously matched AST nodes of type CXXRecordDecl, but now
+matches AST nodes of type RecordDecl. If a CXXRecordDecl is required, use the
+cxxRecordDecl() matcher instead.
