+== `django.newforms.forms.SortedDictFromList` class removed ==
+
+In [6668], the `SortedDictFromList` class was removed.  Due to `django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict` gaining the ability to be instantiated with a sequence of tuples (#5744), `SortedDictFromList` was no longer needed.  Two things need to be done to fix your code:
+
+ 1. Use `django.utils.datastructures.SortedDict` wherever you were using `django.newforms.forms.SortedDictFromList`.
+ 1. Since `SortedDict`'s copy method doesn't return a deepcopy as `SortedDictFromList`'s `copy` method did, you will need to update your code if you were relying on `SortedDictFromList.copy` to return a deepcopy.  Do this by using `copy.deepcopy` instead of `SortedDict`'s `copy` method.
