  * Fix process leak in starting clocks. [#594](https://github.com/membraneframework/membrane_core/pull/594)
  * Add child exit reason to the supervisor exit reason. [#595](https://github.com/membraneframework/membrane_core/pull/595)
+ * Remove default implementation of `start_/2`, `start_link/2` and `terminate/2` in modules using `Membrane.Pipeline`. [#598](https://github.com/membraneframework/membrane_core/pull/598)
