 ## Next release
 
 ### Breaking Changes
-- Removed deprecated sync modes (X_SNAP and X_CHECKPOINT). Use SNAP and CHECKPOINT instead [#7309](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7309)
+- Remove deprecated sync modes (X_SNAP and X_CHECKPOINT). Use SNAP and CHECKPOINT instead [#7309](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7309)
+- Remove PKI-backed QBFT (deprecated in 24.5.1) Other forms of QBFT remain unchanged. [#7293](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7293)
 
 ### Additions and Improvements
 - `--Xsnapsync-bft-enabled` option enables experimental support for snap sync with IBFT/QBFT permissioned Bonsai-DB chains [#7140](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7140)
 - Add support to load external profiles using `--profile` [#7265](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/issues/7265)
 - `privacy-nonce-always-increments` option enables private transactions to always increment the nonce, even if the transaction is invalid [#6593](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/6593)
-- Added `block-test` subcommand to the evmtool which runs blockchain reference tests [#7293](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7293)
-- implement gnark-crypto for eip-2537 [#7316](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/7316)
