 In `v3.3.4`, the OpenTelemetry Request Duration metric (named `traefik_(entrypoint|router|service)_request_duration_seconds`) unit has been changed from milliseconds to seconds.
 To be consistent with the naming and other metrics providers, the metric now reports the duration in seconds.

+## v3.3 to v3.4
+
+### Kubernetes CRD Provider
+
+In `v3.4`, the HTTP service definition has been updated.
+The strategy field now supports two new values: `wrr` and `p2c` (please refer to the [HTTP Services Load Balancing documentation](../../routing/services/#load-balancing-strategy) for more details).
+
+CRDs can be updated with this command:
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traefik/traefik/v3.4/docs/content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-crd-definition-v1.yml
+```
+
+Please note that the `RoundRobin` strategy value is now deprecated, but still supported and equivalent to `wrr`, and will be removed in the next major release.
