 - `custom/text`: Loads the `format` setting, which supports the `<label>` tag, if the deprecated `content` is not defined ([`#1331`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/1331), [`#2673`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2673), [`#2676`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2676))
 - Added experimental support for positioning the tray like a module
 - `internal/backlight`: `scroll-interval` option ([`#2696`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2696), [`#2700`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2700))
+- `internal/temperature`: Added `zone-type` setting ([`#2572`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2572), [`#2752`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2752)) by [@xphoniex](https://github.com/xphoniex)
 
 ### Changed
 - `internal/fs`: Use `/` as a fallback if no mountpoints are specified ([`#2572`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2572), [`#2705`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/pull/2705))
