 # Changelog
 
-## v4.14.0 - 2025-12-xx
+## v4.14.0 - 2025-12-11
+
+`middleware.Logger` has been deprecated. For request logging, use `middleware.RequestLogger` or
+`middleware.RequestLoggerWithConfig`.
+
+`middleware.RequestLogger` replaces `middleware.Logger`, offering comparable configuration while relying on the
+Go standard library’s new `slog` logger.
+
+The previous default output format was JSON. The new default follows the standard `slog` logger settings.
+To continue emitting request logs in JSON, configure `slog` accordingly:
+```go
+slog.SetDefault(slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil)))
+e.Use(middleware.RequestLogger())
+```
+
 
 **Security**
 
-* Logger middleware: escape string values when logger format looks like JSON
+* Logger middleware json string escaping and deprecation by @aldas in https://github.com/labstack/echo/pull/2849
+
 
 
 **Enhancements**
 
-* Add `middleware.RequestLogger` function to replace `middleware.Logger`. `middleware.RequestLogger` uses default slog logger.
- Default slog logger output can be configured to JSON format like that:
- ```go
- slog.SetDefault(slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil)))
- e.Use(middleware.RequestLogger())
- ```
-* Deprecate `middleware.Logger` function and point users to `middleware.RequestLogger` and `middleware.RequestLoggerWithConfig`
