+## v0.35.0 (2025-03-03)
+
+### Notes
+
+- Deprecated parameter
+  - max-relay-peers
+
+- New parameters
+  - relay-service-ratio
+
+    String value with peers distribution within max-connections parameter.
+    This percentage ratio represents the relay peers to service peers.
+    For example, 60:40, tells that 60% of the max-connections will be used for relay protocol
+    and the other 40% of max-connections will be reserved for other service protocols (e.g.,
+    filter, lightpush, store, metadata, etc.)
+
+  - rendezvous
+
+    boolean attribute that optionally activates waku rendezvous discovery server.
+    True by default.
+
+### Release highlights
