 - Add ability to pass a custom tracer to block simulation [#9708](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9708)
 - Add support for `4byteTracer` in `debug_trace*` methods to collect function selectors from internal calls via PR [#9642](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9642). Thanks to [@JukLee0ira](https://github.com/JukLee0ira).
 - Update assertj to v3.27.7 [#9710](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9710)
+- Update rocksdbjni lib version from 9.7.3 to 10.6.2 [#9767](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9767)
 - Update vertx to 4.5.24 [#9645](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9645)
 - Add byte-level metrics for P2P message exchange [#9666](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9666)
 - Add IPv6 dual-stack support for DiscV5 peer discovery (enabled via `--Xv5-discovery-enabled`): new `--p2p-host-ipv6`, `--p2p-interface-ipv6`, and `--p2p-port-ipv6` CLI options enable a second UDP discovery socket; `--p2p-ipv6-outbound-enabled` controls whether IPv6 is preferred for outbound connections when a peer advertises both address families [#9763](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9763); RLPx now also binds a second TCP socket on the IPv6 interface so IPv6-only peers can establish connections [#9873](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/9873)
