+    The ``circuit_knitting.cutting.cutqc`` package is deprecated and will be removed no sooner than Circuit Knitting Toolbox 0.8.0. 
     The wire cutting functionality in the :mod:`circuit_knitting.cutting` package is what will be maintained going forward. 
     Additionally, there is a new automated gate and wire cut-finding functionality in the :mod:`circuit_knitting.cutting.automated_cut_finding` module.
     A `tutorial <https://github.com/Qiskit-Extensions/circuit-knitting-toolbox/blob/main/docs/circuit_cutting/tutorials/04_automatic_cut_finding.ipynb>`__ has been added to demonstrate automated cut-finding.

+  The 0.7 release introduces an automated cut finding code for the new
+  circuit cutting workflow.  With this milestone, the older cutting
+  workflow (CutQC) is now deprecated.  Additionally, this is the first
+  CKT release to support version 2 of the Qiskit Runtime primitives.
+  User are encouraged to `migrate to v2 primitives
+  <https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/api/migration-guides/v2-primitives>`__
+  as soon as possible.

+    The cutting tutorials have been rephrased with the goal of
