 ## Unreleased
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> The 3rd-party integration packages (SentryCocoaLumberjack, SentryPulse, SentrySwiftLog, SentrySwiftyBeaver) now require Swift 6.1+ to support SPM package traits. Users on older Swift toolchains should pin to an earlier release of these packages.
+
 ### Features
 
 - Promote `enableStandaloneAppStartTracing` from `options.experimental` to a top-level option on `Options` (#8715)
+- Add `SentryFromBinary` (default) and `SentryFromSource` SPM package traits to 3rd-party integrations, allowing users to choose between precompiled xcframeworks and building from source. Requires Swift 6.1+ (#8795)
 - Add experimental option `enableUIViewControllerInitSwizzling` that defers `UIViewController` swizzling to first instantiation instead of eagerly discovering and swizzling all subclasses at SDK start. This avoids realizing `@available`-gated `UIViewController` subclasses on OS versions below their gate, which crashes apps on start (#8687).
 - Add screenshot picker to feedback (#8655)
   - Enable it with `form.enableScreenshot = true` in the `configureForm` callback.
