+## 8.5.0
+
+### Important Changes
+
+- **feat(react): Add React 19 to peer deps (#12207)**
+
+This release adds support for React 19 in the `@sentry/react` SDK package.
+
+- **feat(node): Add `@sentry/node/preload` hook (#12213)**
+
+This release adds a new way to initialize `@sentry/node`, which allows you to use the SDK with performance
+instrumentation even if you cannot call `Sentry.init()` at the very start of your app.
+
+First, run the SDK like this:
+
+```bash
+node --require @sentry/node/preload ./app.js
+```
+
+Now, you can initialize and import the rest of the SDK later or asynchronously:
+
+```js
+const express = require('express');
+const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
+
+const dsn = await getSentryDsn();
+Sentry.init({ dsn });
+```
+
+For more details, head over to the
+[PR Description of the new feature](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/12213). Our docs will be updated
+soon with a new guide.
