   - NOTE: This can affect grouping. You can keep the original behavior by setting the option `KeepAggregateException` to `true`.
 - Serialize stack frame addresses as strings. ([#1692](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/1692))
 - Improve serialization perf and fix memory leak in `SentryEvent` ([#1693](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/1693))
+- Add type checking in contexts TryGetValue ([#1700](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/1700))
