 * `@nospecialize` has been added ([#22666]).
 
+* The logging macros `@error`, `@warn`, `@info` and `@debug` can be used as
+  `Compat.@error`, `Compat.@warn`, `Compat.@info` and `Compat.@debug` on Julia 0.6 ([#24490]).
+  Note that the behavior do not mirror the logging macros in Julia 0.7, instead on Julia 0.6:
+  - Messages are printed to `STDERR` (like `info` and `warn` on Julia 0.6) and not to a dedicated logging stream
+  - The loglevel can not be controlled
+  - Extra metadata sent to the macros are ignored
+
 ## Other changes
 
 * On versions of Julia that do not contain a Base.Threads module, Compat defines a Threads module containing a no-op `@threads` macro.
