 ## Unreleased
 
-**Breaking change**: the minimum supported Kotlin version has increased from 1.8 to 2.0.
+### ⚠️⚠️ Breaking changes

+
+### Migration notes
+
+We continue migrating many components from Java to Kotlin. While we expect to 
+remain compatible with Java-based applications, Kotlin support is our 
+first priority. See 
+[KOTLIN_FIRST.md](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-android/blob/main/docs/KOTLIN_FIRST.md) 
+for more information. 
+
+We continue working to stabilize our API surface. In this release, the instrumentation API 
+is not yet stable, and has undergone some notable changes that will impact (break) any
+custom instrumentation that uses these APIs. This should stabilize in the near future.
