+### Removal of orca dependency
+
+This new version of ActivitySim does not use `orca` as a dependency, and thus does
+not rely on orca’s global state to manage data. Instead, a new [`State`](activitysim.core.workflow.State)
+class is introduced, which encapsulates the current state of a simulation including
+all data tables. This is a significant change “under the hood”, which may be
+particularly consequential for model that use “extensions” to the ActivitySim framework.
+See [PR #654](https://github.com/ActivitySim/activitysim/pull/654) for code updates.
