 # Changelog
 
-## [Unreleased]
-- Added isLabelsObserved to LabelledGauge in plugin-api. Default implementation returns false.
+## Unreleased
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- `--host-whitelist` has been deprecated since 2020 and its related option will be removed in a future release.
+
+### Upcoming Breaking Changes
+- Plugin API will be deprecating the BesuContext interface to be replaced with the ServiceManager interface.
+- `MetricSystem::createLabelledGauge` is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, replace it with `MetricSystem::createLabelledSuppliedGauge`
+- k8s (KUBERNETES) Nat method is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release
+- `--host-whitelist` has been deprecated in favor of `--host-allowlist` since 2020 and will be removed in a future release
+- Sunsetting features - for more context on the reasoning behind the deprecation of these features, including alternative options, read [this blog post](https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/blog/sunsetting-tessera-and-simplifying-hyperledger-besu)

+  - Smart-contract-based (onchain) permissioning

+### Additions and Improvements

+
+### Bug fixes
+
+## 24.12.0
 
 ### Breaking Changes
 - Removed Retesteth rpc service and commands [#7833](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7783)
+- TLS for P2P (early access feature) has been removed [#7942](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7942)
+- In the plugin API, `BesuContext` has been renamed to `ServiceManager` to better reflect its function, plugins must be updated to work with this version
+- With the upgrade of the Prometheus Java Metrics library, there are the following changes:
+  - Gauge names are not allowed to end with `total`, therefore the metric `besu_blockchain_difficulty_total` is losing the `_total` suffix
+  - The `_created` timestamps are not returned by default, you can set the env var `BESU_OPTS="-Dio.prometheus.exporter.includeCreatedTimestamps=true"` to enable them
+  - Some JVM metrics have changed name to adhere to the OTEL standard (see the table below), [Besu Full Grafana dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/16455-besu-full/) is updated to support both names
+
+    | Old Name                        | New Name                        |
