+     - `Release notes: runtime`: changes related to the core runtime which loads the program methods, initializes delegates, and runs the lowered graph.
+     - `Release notes: exir`: changes to any internal representations, such as any edge-related dialects. Also any changes to passes that may modify the exir, such as memory planning.
