+# Release Notes Version 0.55 - April 2024
+
+:::warning
+This release contains deprecations
+:::
+
+## Deprecations
+
+### @typespec/compiler
+
+- [#2910](https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/pull/2910) Deprecate `@projectedName` decorator. `@encodedName` should be used instead.
+
+  Example:
+
+  ```diff
+  -@projectedName("json", "exp")
+  +@encodedName("application/json", "exp")
+  ```
+
+- [#3094](https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/pull/3094) Deprecate `@knownValues` decorator. Use a named union of string literal with a string variant to achieve the same result without a decorator
+
+  Example:
+
+  ```diff
+  -enum FooKV { a, b, c}
+  -@knownValues(FooKV)
+  -scalar foo extends string;
+  +union Foo { "a", "b", "c", string }
+  ```
+
