-- Uses the updated NIST Round 2 submissions added to liboqs 0.3.0, as described in the [liboqs release notes](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/master/RELEASE.md).
+As a result of NIST's announcement of Round 3 of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project, this is the last release of OQS-OpenSSH that contain algorithms from Round 2 that are not Round 3 finalists or alternate candidates. Those algorithms will be removed in the next release. The algorithms in question are: NewHope, ThreeBears, MQDSS, and qTesla. These algorithms are considered deprecated within OQS-OpenSSH will receive no updates after this release.
