 ## Unreleased
 
+- Add `actix_rt::ArbiterBuilder` to allow user to configure the thread spawned for the arbiter.
+- Add `Arbiter::alive` and `ArbiterHandle::alive` to check is the arbiter is still alive.
+
 ## 2.10.0
 
 - Relax `F`'s bound (`Fn => FnOnce`) on `{Arbiter, System}::with_tokio_rt()` functions.
