+## 7.61.0
+
+### Important Changes
+
+- **feat(node-experimental): Add `@sentry/node-experimental` package as MVP for POTEL (#8609)**
+
+This introduces a new, *experimental* package, `@sentry/node-experimental`.
+This is a variant of the Node SDK which uses OpenTelemetry under the hood for performance instrumentation.
+
+Note that this package is very much WIP, considered unstable and may change at any time.
+**No SemVer guarantees apply whatsoever.** Still, if you're brave enough you can give it a try.
+[Read more about @sentry/node-experimental](./packages/node-experimental/README.md)
