+- Support pekko-http on scala 3 for versions 1.0.0 till latest by @kanderson250 in [2163](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/2163)
+- Allow JFR queue size and harvest interval to be configured via agent config by @jtduffy in [2168](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/2168)
+  New configs are:
+```
+  jfr:
+    # The time interval, in seconds, of how often JFR data is sent to New Relic.
+    # The default is 10 seconds.
+    harvest_interval: 10
+
+    # The size of the queue used to store JFR events. Increasing this can reduce gaps in JFR reported data
+    # but can also cause resource issues in the agent or cause data to be dropped if backend pipeline
+    # limits are exceeded.
+    # See: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/ingest-apis/event-api/introduction-event-api/#limits
+    #      https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/ingest-apis/metric-api/metric-api-limits-restricted-attributes/
