 # mlr3mbo (development version)
 
-* refactor: refactored `SurrogateLearner` and `SurrogateLearnerCollection` to allow updating on an asynchronous `Archive`
-* feat: added experimental `OptimizerAsyncMbo`, `OptimizerADBO`, `TunerAsyncMbo`, and `TunerADBO` that allow for asynchronous optimization
-* feat: added `AcqFunctionStochasticCB` and `AcqFunctionStochasticEI` that are useful for asynchronous optimization
-* doc: minor changes to highlight differences between batch and asynchronous objects related to asynchronous support
