 ### Bug fixes
 
+* `dynamic_one_shot` was refactored to use `SampleMP` measurements as a way to return the mid-circuit measurement samples. `LightningQubit`'s `simulate` is modified accordingly.
+  [(#694)](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/pull/694)
+
 * `LightningQubit` correctly decomposes state prep operations when used in the middle of a circuit.
   [(#687)](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/pull/687)
