+This release adds support for using 
+`Amazon Braket <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-quantum/0.9.1/using/backends/hardware.html#amazon-braket>`__ and 
+`Infeqtion's Superstaq <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-quantum/0.9.1/using/backends/hardware.html#infleqtion>`__ as backends.
+
+Starting with this release, all C++ quantum kernels will be processed by the `nvq++` compiler regardless of whether 
+they run on a simulator or on a quantum hardware backend. This change is largely non-breaking, but language constructs 
+that are not officially supported within quantum kernels will now lead to a compilation error whereas previously they 
+could be used when executing on a simulator only. The previous behavior can be forced by passing the `--library-mode` 
+flag to the compiler. Please note that if you do so, however, the code will never be executable outside of a simulator 
+and may not be supported even on simulators.
