 # @backstage/backend-plugin-api
 
+## 1.7.1-next.0
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 1ee5b28: Adds an alpha `MetricsService` to provide a unified interface for metrics instrumentation across Backstage plugins.
+- Updated dependencies
+  - @backstage/cli-common@0.2.0-next.0
+  - @backstage/config@1.3.6
+  - @backstage/errors@1.2.7
+  - @backstage/types@1.2.2
+  - @backstage/plugin-auth-node@0.6.14-next.0
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-common@0.9.6
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-node@0.10.11-next.0
+
+## 1.7.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- f1d29b4: Added support for extension point factories. This makes it possible to call `registerExtensionPoint` with a single options argument and provide a factory for the extension point rather than a direct implementation. The factory is passed a context with a `reportModuleStartupFailure` method that makes it possible for plugins to report and attribute startup errors to the module that consumed the extension point.
+- bb9b471: Plugin IDs that do not match the standard format are deprecated (letters, digits, and dashes only, starting with a letter). Plugin IDs that do no match this format will be rejected in a future release.
+
+  In addition, plugin IDs that don't match the legacy pattern that also allows underscores, with be rejected.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 7455dae: Use node prefix on native imports
+- 69d880e: Bump to latest zod to ensure it has the latest features
+- Updated dependencies
+  - @backstage/cli-common@0.1.18
+  - @backstage/plugin-auth-node@0.6.13
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-common@0.9.6
+  - @backstage/plugin-permission-node@0.10.10
