 - Command substitutions no longer respect job control, instead running inside fish's own process group (:issue:`8172`). This more closely matches other shells, and improves :kbd:`Control-C` reliability inside a command substitution.
 - ``history`` and ``__fish_print_help`` now properly support ``less`` before version 530, including the version that ships with macOS. (:issue:`8157`).
 - ``help`` now knows which section is in which document again (:issue:`8245`).
+- fish's highlighter will now color options (starting with ``-`` or ``--``) with the color given in the new $fish_color_option, up to the first ``--``. It falls back on $fish_color_param, so nothing changes for existing setups (:issue:`8292`).
