+  an exception is raised.
+- You can now set the logging level and specify a log file using the environment
+  variables ``QSIKIT_IBMQ_PROVIDER_LOG_LEVEL`` and ``QISKIT_IBMQ_PROVIDER_LOG_FILE``,
+  respectively. Note that the name of the logger is ``qiskit.providers.ibmq``.
+- :class:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.job.IBMQJob` now has a new method
+  :meth:`~qiskit.providers.ibmq.job.IBMQJob.scheduling_mode` that returns the scheduling
+  mode the job is in.
+- IQX-related tutorials that used to be in ``qiskit-iqx-tutorials`` are now in
+  ``qiskit-ibmq-provider``.
+
+Changed
+-------
+
+- :meth:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.IBMQBackend.jobs` now accepts a new boolean parameter
+  ``descending``, which can be used to indicate whether the jobs should be returned in
+  descending or ascending order.
+- :class:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.managed.IBMQJobManager` now looks at the job limit and waits
+  for old jobs to finish before submitting new ones if the limit has been reached.
+- :meth:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.IBMQBackend.status` now raises a
+  :class:`qiskit.providers.ibmq.IBMQBackendApiProtocolError` exception
+  if there was an issue with validating the status.
