- Following the OpenMetrics convention, the updated Prometheus client adds the `_total` suffix to every metrics of type counter, with the effect that some existing metrics have been renamed to have this suffix. If you are using the official Besu Grafana dashboard [(available here)](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/16455-besu-full/), just update it to the latest revision, that accepts the old and the new name of the affected metrics. If you have a custom dashboards or use the metrics in other ways, then you need to manually update it to support the new naming.

- The `trace-filter` method in JSON-RPC API now has a default block range limit of 1000, adjustable with `--rpc-max-trace-filter-range` (thanks @alyokaz) [#6446](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/6446)
- Requesting the Ethereum Node Record (ENR) to acquire the fork id from bonded peers is now enabled by default, so the following change has been made [#5628](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/5628):
- `--Xfilter-on-enr-fork-id` has been removed. To disable the feature use `--filter-on-enr-fork-id=false`.

- New `EXECUTION_HALTED` error returned if there is an error executing or simulating a transaction, with the reason for execution being halted. Replaces the generic `INTERNAL_ERROR` return code in certain cases which some applications may be checking for [#6343](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/6343)
- The Besu Docker images with `openjdk-latest` tags since 23.10.3 were incorrectly using UID 1001 instead of 1000 for the container's `besu` user. The user now uses 1000 again. Containers created from or migrated to images using UID 1001 will need to chown their persistent database files to UID 1000 (thanks @h4l) [#6360](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/6360)
- The deprecated `--privacy-onchain-groups-enabled` option has now been removed. Use the `--privacy-flexible-groups-enabled` option instead. [#6411](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/6411)
- The time that can be spent selecting transactions during block creation is not capped at 5 seconds for PoS and PoW networks, and for PoA networks, at 75% of the block period specified in the genesis. This is to prevent possible DoS attacks in case a single transaction is taking too long to execute, and to have a stable block production rate. This could be a breaking change if an existing network needs to accept transactions that take more time to executed than the newly introduced limit. If it is mandatory for these networks to keep processing these long processing transaction, then the default value of `block-txs-selection-max-time` or `poa-block-txs-selection-max-time` needs to be tuned accordingly.
