 ### Fixed
 
+- `MessagingSession` reconnect loop did not break on error past reconnect deadline. Infinite reconnect loop was caused due to `firstConnectionAttemptTimestamp` not being set as `startedConnectionAttempt` was not invoked. Check https://github.com/aws/amazon-chime-sdk-js/issues/2372 for details.
+- `MessagingSession` `getMessagingSessionEndpoint` call is now backwards compatible with AWS JS SDK v2.
 - Use a default "playback" `latencyHint` when creating the `AudioContext` on Windows. Also adds a `setDefaultLatencyHint` API to `DefaultDeviceController` to allow for overriding.
