 If you are relying on `undefined` being passed in and having tracing enabled because of this, you should update your config to set e.g. `tracesSampleRate: 0` instead, which will also enable tracing in v9.
 
+The `enableTracing` option was removed. In v9, to emulate `enableTracing: true`, set `tracesSampleRate: 1`. To emulate `enableTracing: false`, remove the `tracesSampleRate` and `tracesSampler` options (if configured).
+
 - **The `autoSessionTracking` option is deprecated.**
 
 To enable session tracking, it is recommended to unset `autoSessionTracking` and ensure that either, in browser environments the `browserSessionIntegration` is added, or in server environments the `httpIntegration` is added.
