+[#2961](https://github.com/PSLmodels/Tax-Calculator/pull/2961))
+
+**This is a major release with changes that make Tax-Calculator incompatible with earlier releases.**
+
+**API Changes**
+- Removes the taxdata-produced `puf_weights.csv.gz` and `puf_ratios.csv` files. Adds a new `Records.puf_constructor` method for use with PUF data. Users will need to supply their own weights and growfactors files for the PUF as they are no longer included in Tax-Calculator.
