 ### Changed
 
-- Electra: Updated interop genesis generator to support Electra.
 - `getLocalPayload` has been refactored to enable work in ePBS branch.
 - `TestNodeServer_GetPeer` and `TestNodeServer_ListPeers` test flakes resolved by iterating the whole peer list to find
   a match rather than taking the first peer in the map.

 - `grpc-gateway-corsdomain` is renamed to http-cors-domain. The old name can still be used as an alias.
 - `api-timeout` is changed from int flag to duration flag, default value updated.
 - Light client support: abstracted out the light client headers with different versions.
-- Electra EIP6110: Queue deposit requests changes from consensus spec pr #3818
 - `ApplyToEveryValidator` has been changed to prevent misuse bugs, it takes a closure that takes a `ReadOnlyValidator` and returns a raw pointer to a `Validator`. 
 - Removed gorilla mux library and replaced it with net/http updates in go 1.22.
 - Clean up `ProposeBlock` for validator client to reduce cognitive scoring and enable further changes.
 - Updated k8s-io/client-go to v0.30.4 and k8s-io/apimachinery to v0.30.4
 - Migrated tracing library from opencensus to opentelemetry for both the beacon node and validator.
 - Refactored light client code to make it more readable and make future PRs easier.
-- Update light client helper functions to reference `dev` branch of CL specs
 - Updated Libp2p Dependencies to allow prysm to use gossipsub v1.2 .
-- Updated Sepolia bootnodes.
-- Make committee aware packing the default by deprecating `--enable-committee-aware-packing`.
-- Moved `ConvertKzgCommitmentToVersionedHash` to the `primitives` package.
-- reversed the boolean return on `BatchVerifyDepositsSignatures`, from need verification, to all keys successfully verified
-- Fix `engine_exchangeCapabilities` implementation.
 
 ### Deprecated
 - `--disable-grpc-gateway` flag is deprecated due to grpc gateway removal.
 - `--enable-experimental-state` flag is deprecated. This feature is now on by default. Opt-out with `--disable-experimental-state`.
