+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- The `MetricsFrame` now includes processing metrics if metrics are enabled. The
+  processing metrics indicate the time a processor needs to generate all its
+  output. Note that not all processors generate these kind of metrics.
+
 ## [0.0.35] - 2024-06-28
 
 ### Changed
