 ### Added
-- Ability to specify the maximum blocksize that bitswap will replace WantHave with WantBlock responses, and to disable replacement when set to zero. [#165](https://github.com/ipfs/rainbow/pull/165)
-- Support use and configuration of pebble as [datastore](https://github.com/ipfs/rainbow/blob/main/docs/blockstores.md). Pebble provides a high-performance alternative to badger. Options are available to configure key tuning parameters (`pebble-*` in `rainbow --help`).

+- Support implicit default list for `filter-protocols` from [IPIP-484](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/484) and customizing them via `--http-routers-filter-protocols`.
