+====================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+- Some of the visualization and Jupyter tools, including gate/error map and
+  backend information, have been moved from ``qiskit-terra`` to ``qiskit-ibmq-provider``.
+  They are now under the :mod:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.jupyter` and
+  :mod:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.visualization`. In addition, you can now
+  use ``%iqx_dashboard`` to get a dashboard that provides both job and
+  backend information.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- JSON schema validation is no longer run by default on Qobj objects passed
+  to :meth:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.IBMQBackend.run`. This significantly speeds
+  up the execution of the `run()` method. Qobj objects are still validated on the
+  server side, and invalid Qobjs will continue to raise exceptions. To force local
+  validation, set ``validate_qobj=True`` when you invoke ``run()``.
