 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The deprecated ``pvlib.modelchain.basic_chain`` has now been removed. (:pull:`1862`)
 * Remove the `poa_horizontal_ratio` function and all of its references. (:issue:`1697`, :pull:`2021`)
+* Updated `~pvlib.iotools.MIDC_VARIABLE_MAP`~ to reflect
+  changes in instrumentation. (:pull:`2006`)
 * ``pvlib.iotools.read_srml_month_from_solardat`` was deprecated in v0.10.0 and has
   now been completely removed. The function is replaced by :py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.get_srml()`.
