   - It's now possible to map a `log` record to multiple items in Sentry by combining multiple log filters in the filter, e.g. `log::Level::ERROR => LogFilter::Event | LogFilter::Log`.
   - If using a custom `mapper` instead, it's possible to return a `Vec<sentry::integrations::log::RecordMapping>` to map a `log` record to multiple items in Sentry. 
 
+### Behavioral changes
+
+- ref(log): send logs by default when logs feature flag is enabled ([#915](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-rust/pull/915))
+  - If the `logs` feature flag is enabled, the default Sentry `log` logger now sends logs for all events at or above INFO.

 ## 0.43.0

-//! By default anything above `Info` is recorded as a breadcrumb and

-//!
-//! To capture records as Sentry logs:
-//! 1. Enable the `logs` feature of the `sentry` crate.
-//! 2. Initialize the SDK with `enable_logs: true` in your client options.
-//! 3. Set up a custom filter (see below) to map records to logs (`LogFilter::Log`) based on criteria such as severity.
+//! By default anything at or above `Info` is recorded as a breadcrumb and
+//! anything at or above `Error` is captured as error event.
+//! Additionally, if the `sentry` crate is used with the `logs` feature flag, anything at or above `Info`
+//! is captured as a [Structured Log](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/logs/).
