-### v9.7.0 (2022-11-14)
-
-* Added new configuration option, `grpc.ignore_status_codes`, which can be used to select nonzero gRPC status codes to ignore and not report as errors.
-
-### v9.6.0 (2022-11-09)
-
-* Dropped support for `vision`, and instead only instrument `@hapi/vision`.

+### v9.7.1 (2022-12-05)
+* Reintroduced throttled reading of dependency tree at startup to prevent EMFILE issues.
+
+* Improved Restify support
+  * Added a new test stanza to run restify >=10 on Node 18.
+  * Update our versioned tests to support Restify 9.0.0.
+
+* Enhanced agent to lay foundation for supporting for Code Level Metrics via Codestream. Note that while changes have been made to the agent for [Codestream](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/codestream/how-use-codestream/performance-monitoring/), this integration is not fully finished and should not be used.
+  * Attached code level metrics attributes to middleware spans when `config.code_level_metrics.enabled` is true.
+  * Added configuration option to toggle Code Level Metrics: `code_level_metrics.enabled`.  
+    * It defaults to false.
+    * The environment variable is `NEW_RELIC_CODE_LEVEL_METRICS_ENABLED`.
+  * Added a utility to retrieve Code Level Metrics(CLM) metadata from a function reference.
+
+* Improved the readability and maintainability of agent by reducing the [Cognitive Complexity](https://www.sonarsource.com/resources/cognitive-complexity/) of various aspects of the agent.
+  * Refactored the Exception class and its helpers to reduce the cognitive complexity. Additionally, fixed all JSDoc warnings.
+  * Updated deep equality check to use native `util.isDeepStrictEqual()`.
+  * Refactored Error Collector to reduce complexity and fixed/added JSDocs.
+  * Reduced cognitive complexity in `lib/config/attribute-filter.js` and enhance JSDocs.
+  * Refactored `lib/system-info.js` to reduce complexity by switching to async/await instead of callbacks for async control.
+  * Addressed cognitive complexity and jsdoc issues in `lib/agent.js`.
+  * Addressed cognitive complexity and jsdoc issues in `api.js`.
+
+* Added `newrelic.noticeError()` example to our API docs.
+
+* Upgraded @grpc/grpc-js from 1.6.9 to 1.7.3.
+
+* Upgraded @grpc/proto-loader from 0.6.13 to 0.7.3.
+
+* Removed deprecated and failing suites from benchmark tests.
+
+* Updated code coverage to upload all reports at end of CI run.

+
+### v9.6.0 (2022-11-09)
+
+* Dropped support for `vision`, and instead only instrument `@hapi/vision`.
+
 * Updated configuration system to automatically create an environment variable mapping for a new config value.
    * It will follow a convention of `NEW_RELIC_PATH_TO_CONFIG_KEY`.
-   * For example if there is a new configuration option of `config.nested.object_path.enabled` the env var would be `NEW_RELIC_NESTED_OBJECT_PATH.ENABLED`.
-
-* Removed `transaction_tracer.hide_internals` configuration. All of the internal configuration is now handled by Javascript symbols instead of non-enumerable properties, so there is no longer a performance penalty, as symbols are already hidden by default.
-
-### v9.5.0 (2022-10-26)
-
-* Increased the default limit of custom events from 1,000 events per minute to 3,000 events per minute. In the scenario that custom events were being limited, this change will allow more custom events to be sent to New Relic. There is also a new configurable maximum limit of 100,000 events per minute. To change the limits, see the documentation for [custom_insights_events](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apm/agents/nodejs-agent/installation-configuration/nodejs-agent-configuration#custom_events_max_samples_stored). To learn more about the change and how to determine if custom events are being dropped, see our Explorers Hub [post](https://discuss.newrelic.com/t/send-more-custom-events-with-the-latest-apm-agents/190497).
-
-* Updated CI process to include collection of code coverage statistics.
-
-* Added a [document](./documentation/feature-flags.md) for our current feature flags.

 ### v9.4.0 (2022-10-24)
 
 * Removed legacy agent async context propagation. The default behavior is now what was behind the `feature_flag.new_promise_tracking`.
