 ### Breaking Changes
 - Removed references to beacon block methods `/eth2/beacon_chain/req/beacon_blocks_by_root` and `/eth2/beacon_chain/req/beacon_blocks_by_range`.
+- `--Xmetrics-block-timing-tracking-enabled` option has been removed. The `--metrics-block-timing-tracking-enabled` option should be used instead (enabled by default).
 
 ### Additions and Improvements
 - Introduced [Doppelganger Detection feature](https://docs.teku.consensys.net/en/latest/HowTo/Doppelganger-Detection/)
