 **Features**:
 
+- Set `sdk.name` for events created from minidumps. ([#4313](https://github.com/getsentry/relay/pull/4313))
 - Add check to ensure unreal user info is not empty. ([#4225](https://github.com/getsentry/relay/pull/4225))
 - Retain empty string values in `span.data` and `event.contexts.trace.data`. ([#4174](https://github.com/getsentry/relay/pull/4174))
 - Allow `sample_rate` to be float type when deserializing `DynamicSamplingContext`. ([#4181](https://github.com/getsentry/relay/pull/4181))
