 * MapboxMobileEvents dependency is replaced with CoreTelemetry (part of MapboxCommon). ([#4011](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios/pull/4011))
 * Deprecated `NavigationEventsManager.init(activeNavigationDataSource:passiveNavigationDataSource:accessToken:mobileEventsManager:)` in favour of `NavigationEventsManager.init(activeNavigationDataSource:passiveNavigationDataSource:accessToken:)`. ([#4011](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios/pull/4011))
 * Added `NavigationViewController.usesNightStyleInDarkMode` property to control whether night style is used in dark mode. ([#4143](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios/pull/4143))
+* Added `SpeechSynthesizing.forceSpeak(instruction:during: locale:)` to break through mute of speech synthesizer. ([#4195](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios/pull/4195))
