This link needs to be fixed in the runtime repo (main branch and stable/0.45):

Jessie said to just ignore it, since it's in a really old release note. I'll add to the Ignore file.

Unfortunately, we can't ignore the issue because it's in the release notes. Our script regenerates the whole release note file with each version, so we would revert the change in the future if it's not fixed.

We can only ignore issues with historical versions if it's in a page different than the release notes :(

In my opinion we should fix it on the runtime repo and remove the redirect in external-redirects.ts given that it won't be necessary anymore

Improved Stochastic Ranking Evolution Strategy optimizer.

Improved Stochastic Ranking Evolution Strategy (ISRES) is an algorithm for non-linearly constrained global optimization. It has heuristics to escape local optima, even though convergence to a global optima is not guaranteed. The evolution strategy is based on a combination of a mutation rule and differential variation. The fitness ranking is simply via the objective function for problems without nonlinear constraints. When nonlinear constraints are included, the [stochastic ranking proposed by Runarsson and Yao](https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~xin/papers/published_tec_sep00_constraint.pdf) is employed. This method supports arbitrary nonlinear inequality and equality constraints, in addition to the bound constraints.

Do we need this link to be ignored now? I think we can remove it if it only appears in the qiskit-ibm-runtime release notes
