+## 6.17.0-beta1
+
+This beta releases contains several internal refactors that help reduce the bundle size of the SDK and help prep for our [upcoming major release](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/4240). There are no breaking changes in this patch unless you are using our internal `Dsn` class. We also deprecated our typescript enums and our internal `API` class. We've detailed how to update your sdk usage if you are using the `Dsn` class or any of the deprecated methods in our [migration documentation](./MIGRATION.md#upgrading-from-6.x-to-6.17.0).

+# Upgrading from 6.x to 6.17.0
+
+You only need to make changes when migrating to `6.17.0` if you are using our internal `Dsn` class. Our internal API class and typescript enums were deprecated, so we recommend you migrate them as well.
+
+The internal `Dsn` class was removed in `6.17.0`. For additional details, you can look at the [PR where this change happened](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4325). To migrate, see the following example.
+
+```js
+// New in 6.17.0:
+import { dsnToString, makeDsn } from '@sentry/utils';
+
+const dsn = makeDsn(process.env.SENTRY_DSN);
+console.log(dsnToString(dsn));
+
+// Before:
+import { Dsn } from '@sentry/utils';
+
+const dsn = new Dsn(process.env.SENTRY_DSN);
+console.log(dsn.toString());
+```
+
+The internal API class was deprecated, and will be removed in the next major release. More details can be found in the [PR that made this change](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4281). To migrate, see the following example.
+
+```js
+// New in 6.17.0:
+import {
+  initAPIDetails,
+  getEnvelopeEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth,
+  getStoreEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth,
+} from '@sentry/core';
+
+const dsn = initAPIDetails(dsn, metadata, tunnel);
+const dsn = api.dsn;
+const storeEndpoint = getEnvelopeEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth(api.dsn, api.tunnel);
+const envelopeEndpoint = getStoreEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth(api.dsn);
+
+// Before:
+import { API } from '@sentry/core';
+
+const api = new API(dsn, metadata, tunnel);
+const dsn = api.getDsn();
+const storeEndpoint = api.getStoreEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth();
+const envelopeEndpoint = api.getEnvelopeEndpointWithUrlEncodedAuth();
+```
+
+## Enum changes
+
+We've detailed how to migrate off our enums `Severity`, `Status` and `SpanStatus`. We also made changes to deprecate `TransactionMethod`, `Outcome` and `RequestSessionStatus` enums, but those are internal only APIs.
+
+#### Severity
+
+We deprecated the `Severity` enum in `@sentry/types` and it will be removed in the next major release. We recommend using string literals to save on bundle size. [PR](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4280). We also removed the `Severity.fromString` method. This was done to save on bundle size.
+
+```js
+// New in 6.17.0:
+import { severityFromString } from '@sentry/utils';
+
+const severity = severityFromString(level);
+
+// Before:
+import { Severity } from '@sentry/types';
+
+const severity = Severity.fromString(level);
+```
+
+#### Status
+
+We deprecated the `Status` enum in `@sentry/types` and it will be removed in the next major release. We recommend using string literals to save on bundle size. [PR](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4298). We also removed the `Status.fromHttpCode` method. This was done to save on bundle size.
+
+```js
+// New in 6.17.0:
+import { eventStatusFromHttpCode } from '@sentry/utils';
+
+const status = eventStatusFromHttpCode(500);
+
+// Before:
+import { Status } from '@sentry/types';
+
+const status = Status.fromHttpCode(500);
+```
+
+#### SpanStatus
+
+We deprecated the `Status` enum in `@sentry/tracing` and it will be removed in the next major release. We recommend using string literals to save on bundle size. [PR](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4299). We also removed the `SpanStatus.fromHttpCode` method. This was done to save on bundle size.
+
+```js
+// New in 6.17.0:
+import { spanStatusfromHttpCode } from '@sentry/utils';
+
+const status = spanStatusfromHttpCode(403);
+
+// Before:
+import { SpanStatus } from '@sentry/tracing';
+
+const status = SpanStatus.fromHttpCode(403);
+```
