 ## XX.XX.XX
+
+* Health check requests now include additional metrics.
+
 * Mitigated an issue where behavior settings were not stored when only provided through configuration during initialization.
 * Mitigated an issue where, on the first run of the SDK, behavior settings returned null if none were previously stored.
 * Mitigated an issue where first behavior settings update calls sent twice.
 
+
 ## 25.4.2
 * Mitigated an issue where latest fetched behavior settings were replacing the current settings instead of merging.
