@@ -19,14 +19,14 @@ Scripting improvements
 ----------------------
 - ``math`` gained new functions ``log2`` (like the documentation claimed), ``max`` and ``min`` (:issue:`7856`). ``math`` functions can be used without the parentheses (eg ``math sin 2 + 6``), and functions have the lowest precedence in the order of operations (:issue:`7877`).
 - Shebang (``#!``) lines are no longer required within shell scripts, improving support for scripts with concatenated binary contents. If a file fails to execute and passes a (rudimentary) binary safety check, fish will re-invoke it using ``/bin/sh`` (:issue:`7802`).
-- Exit codes are better aligned with bash. A failed exec now reports ``$status`` of 127 if the file is not found, and 126 if it is not executable.
-- ``echo`` no longer writes its output one byte at a time, improving performance and allowing use with linux' special API files (``/proc``, ``/sys`` and such) (:issue:`7836`).

 - fish should now better handle ``cd`` on filesystems with broken ``stat(3)`` responses (:issue:`7577`).
 - Builtins now properly report a ``$status`` of 1 upon unsuccessful writes (:issue:`7857`).
 - ``string match`` with unmatched capture groups and without the ``--all`` flag now sets an empty variable instead of a variable containing the empty string. It also correctly imports the first match if multiple arguments are provided, matching the documentation. (:issue:`7938`).
-- More specific errors when a command in a command substitution wasn't found or is not allowed. This now prints something like "Unknown command" instead of "Unknown error while evaluating command substitution".
-- ``fish_indent`` allows to write inline variable assignments on multiple lines (ending in a backslash), instead of joining them into one line (:issue:`7955`).
-- fish gained a ``--no-config`` option to disable configuration files. This applies to user-specific and the systemwide ``config.fish`` (typically in ``/etc/fish/config.fish``), and configuration snippets (typically in ``conf.d`` directories). It also disables universal variables, history, and loading of functions from system or user configuration directories. (:issue:`7921`, :issue:`1256`).
+- fish produces more specific errors when a command in a command substitution wasn't found or is not allowed. This now prints something like "Unknown command" instead of "Unknown error while evaluating command substitution".
+- ``fish_indent`` allows inline variable assignments (``FOO=BAR command``) to use line continuation, instead of joining them into one line (:issue:`7955`).
+- fish gained a ``--no-config`` option to disable configuration files. This applies to user-specific and the systemwide ``config.fish`` (typically in ``/etc/fish/config.fish``), and configuration snippets (typically in ``conf.d`` directories). It also disables universal variables, history, and loading of functions from system or user configuration directories (:issue:`7921`, :issue:`1256`).
 - When universal variables are unavailable for some reason, setting a universal variable now sets a global variable instead (:issue:`7921`).
 - ``$last_pid`` now contains the process ID of the last process in the pipeline, allowing it to be used in scripts (:issue:`5036`, :issue:`5832`, :issue:`7721`). Previously, this value contained the process group ID, but in scripts this was the same as the running fish's process ID.
 - ``process-exit`` event handlers now receive the same value as ``$status`` in all cases, instead of receiving -1 when the exit was due to a signal.
