 ### Added
 
-- Added a new variant of `UnityTransport.GetDefaultPipelineConfigurations` that takes a reference to the created `NetworkDriver`. This will register all pipeline stages that `UnityTransport` requires, removing the need to manually register them in your own custom driver constructor. (#3980)
 - Added support for Unity's Fast Enter Play Mode with domain reload disabled. (#3956)
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `NetworkMetricsPipelineStage` is now defined even when the multiplayer tools package is not installed, removing the need to guard its registration behind a version define when using a custom driver in `UnityTransport`. (#3980)
 
 ### Deprecated
 
-- Deprecated a number of methods that were no longer valid or being used. (#3987)
