+``rcsetup.interactive_bk``, ``rcsetup.non_interactive_bk`` and ``rcsetup.all_backends``

+... are removed and replaced by ``matplotlib.backends.backend_registry.list_builtin``

+- ``matplotlib.backends.BackendFilter.INTERACTIVE``
+- ``matplotlib.backends.BackendFilter.NON_INTERACTIVE``
+- ``None``
+
+``BboxTransformToMaxOnly``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+... is removed. If you rely on this, please make a copy of old the code.
+
+*interval* parameter of ``TimerBase.start``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The timer interval parameter can no longer be set while starting it. The interval can be specified instead in the timer constructor, or by setting the timer.interval attribute.
