 features to in the future. The separation of concerns is now much clearer, and they
 reflect how the functionality is used in the real world.
 
+- Removed:
+  - Remove the dependency on `r3bl_simple_logger` and archive it. You can read the details
+    in its [CHANGELOG entry](#archived-2024-09-27). Tokio tracing is now used under the
+    covers.
+  - Remove all the functions like `log_debug`, `log_info`, etc. and favor directly using
+    tokio tracing macros for logging, eg: `tracing::debug!`, `tracing::info!`, etc.
+
 - Changed:
-  - Renamed the `debug!` macro, which is confusing, since it clashes with logging, to
+  - Rename the `debug!` macro, which is confusing, since it clashes with logging, to
     `console_log!`. This macro is used in many places in the codebase for quick formatted
     output to console (via `eprintln!`). The code to format the output is in the
     `console_log_impl.rs` file.
   - Reorganize the `src` folder to make sure that there aren't any top level files, and that
     everything is in a module. This is to make it easier to add new modules in the future.
 
-- Removed:
-  - The dependency on `r3bl_simple_logger` has been removed and that entire crate has been
-    archived. You can read the details in its [CHANGELOG entry](#archived-2024-09-27).
-    Tokio tracing is now used under the covers.
-
 - Added:
-  - The actual logging API is left as is, and a new variant is also included, so you are
-    free to choose to keep using the old API, or directly using tokio tracing, or a mix of
-    both! See `logging_api.rs` for more details.
+  - Simplify the actual logging API into a single function, and allow use of tokio
+    tracing, macros for for logging, eg: `tracing::debug!`, `tracing::info!`, etc. See
+    `logging_api.rs` for more details.
   - Move the `color_wheel` module into `r3bl_rs_utils_core` crate. This is to ensure that
     it is possible to import just color wheel and lolcat related functionality without
     having to import the entire `r3bl_tui` crate. And de-tangles the dependency tree,
