+    From this release, Qiskit Machine Learning requires Qiskit `1.0` or above, with important
+    changes and upgrades, such as the introduction of Quantum Bayesian inference and the migration

+    part of the process to build full compatibility with the version-2 (V2) Qiskit primitives
+    available from version `0.8` of Qiskit Machine Learning. V1 primitives are deprecated and
+    will be removed from version `0.9` (please find more information below).
