February 2026 (Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime): Focused on reliability, testing, and release hygiene. Delivered a targeted bug fix for archived runtime service instances and a broad stability/quality uplift, including removal of deprecated features, testing framework improvements, and explicit type annotations. Completed release-note generation and changelogs for 0.44.1 and 0.45.1. This work reduces incident risk, improves customer-facing behavior when catalog data is unavailable, and strengthens developer workflows.
