+Parts of plugin-sonarqube have been moved into a new plugin-sonarqube-react package. Additionally some types that were
+previously internal to plugin-sonarqube have been made public and will allow access for third-parties. As the sonarqube
+plugin has not yet reached 1.0 breaking changes are expected in the future. As such exports of plugin-sonarqube-react
+require importing via the `/alpha` entrypoint:
+
+```ts
+import { sonarQubeApiRef } from '@backstage/plugin-sonarqube-react/alpha';
+
+const sonarQubeApi = useApi(sonarQubeApiRef);
+```
+
+Moved from plugin-sonarqube to plugin-sonarqube-react:
+
+- isSonarQubeAvailable
+- SONARQUBE_PROJECT_KEY_ANNOTATION
+
+Exports that been introduced to plugin-sonarqube-react are documented in the [API report](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/plugins/sonarqube-react/api-report.md).
