+## 8.0.0-alpha.8
+
+This is the eighth alpha release of Sentry JavaScript SDK v8, which includes a variety of breaking changes.
+
+Read the [in-depth migration guide](./MIGRATION.md) to find out how to address any breaking changes in your code.
+
+### Important Changes
+
+- **feat: Add @sentry-internal/browser-utils (#11381)**
+
+A big part of the browser-runtime specific exports of the internal `@sentry/utils` package were moved into a new package
+`@sentry-internal/browser-utils`. If you imported any API from `@sentry/utils` (which is generally not recommended but
+necessary for some workarounds), please check that your import statements still point to existing exports after
+upgrading.
+
+- **feat: Add loader file to node-based SDKs to support ESM monkeypatching (#11338)**
+
+When using ESM, it is necessary to use a "loader" to be able to instrument certain third-party packages and Node.js API.
+The server-side SDKs now ship with a set of ESM loader hooks, that should be used when using ESM. Use them as follows:
+
+```sh
+# For Node.js <= 18.18.2
+node --experimental-loader=@sentry/node/hook your-app.js
+
+# For Node.js >= 18.19.0
+node --import=@sentry/node/register your-app.js
+```
+
+Please note that due to an upstream bug, these loader hooks will currently crash or simply not work. We are planning to
+fix this in upcoming versions of the SDK - definitely before a stable version 8 release.
+
+- **feat(node): Add Koa error handler (#11403)**
+- **feat(node): Add NestJS error handler (#11375)**
+
+The Sentry SDK now exports integrations and error middlewares for Koa (`koaIntegration()`, `setupKoaErrorHandler()`) and
+NestJS (`setupNestErrorHandler()`) that can be used to instrument your Koa and NestJS applications with error
+monitoring.
