 - Removed the 10-item limit per envelope for non-session data. Sessions are now limited to 100 per envelope, while other items (e.g., attachments) have no limit in amount. ([#1347](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/pull/1347))
 - Align the `breakpad` interface changes introduced with [#1083](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/pull/1083) with the corresponding iOS build. ([#1465](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/pull/1465))
+- Add structured logs to debug output when `debug` option is set. ([#1466](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-native/pull/1466))
