 - Discard envelopes on `4xx` and `5xx` response ([#4950](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/4950))
   - This aims to not overwhelm Sentry after an outage or load shedding (including HTTP 429) where too many events are sent at once
 
+### Features
+
+- Add new experimental option to capture profiles for ANRs ([#4899](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/4899))
+  - This feature will capture a stack profile of the main thread when it gets unresponsive
+  - The profile gets attached to the ANR event on the next app start, providing a flamegraph of the ANR issue on the sentry issue details page
+  - Breaking change: if the ANR stacktrace contains only system frames (e.g. `java.lang` or `android.os`), a static fingerprint is set on the ANR event, causing all ANR events to be grouped into a single issue, reducing the overall ANR issue noise. 
+  - Enable via `options.setEnableAnrProfiling(true)` or Android manifest: `<meta-data android:name="io.sentry.anr.enable-profiling" android:value="true" />`
+
 ## 8.29.0
