 ## Features
 
 * HTTPS proxies now support load balancing groups. Multiple HTTPS proxies can be configured with the same `loadBalancer.group` and `loadBalancer.groupKey` to share the same custom domain and distribute traffic across multiple backend services, similar to the existing TCP and HTTP load balancing capabilities.
+* Individual frpc proxies and visitors now accept an `enabled` flag (defaults to true), letting you disable specific entries without relying on the global `start` list—disabled blocks are skipped when client configs load.
 
 ## Improvements
