+### Add dotenv to allow router to read environment variables from .env file ([PR #6117](https://github.com/apollographql/router/pull/6117))
+
+Router will now read environment variables from `.env` file. This is helpful for local development to inject in `APOLLO_KEY` and `APOLLO_GRAPH_REF` from a `.env` file. It also makes these environment variables available everywhere they are currently available such as in rhai scripts:
+
+```
+# .env
+MY_COOL_VARIABLE="yeaaaaa man!"
+
+# main.rhai
+log_info(`MY_COOL_VARIABLE: ${env::get("MY_COOL_VARIABLE")}`);
+```
