 - An oversight prevented all syntax checks from running on commands given to ``fish -c`` (:issue:`8171`).
 - ``fish_indent`` now correctly reformats tokens that end with a backslash followed by a newline (:issue:`8197`).
 - ``set`` learned a new option ``--function`` to set a variable in the function's top scope. This should be a more familiar way of scoping variables and avoids issues with ``--local``, which is actually block-scoped. (:issue:`565`, :issue:`8145`).
+- ``string pad`` now excludes escape sequences like colors that fish knows about, and a new ``--visible`` flag to ``string length`` makes it use that kind of visible width. This is useful to get the number of terminal cells an already colored string would occupy, like in a prompt. (:issue:`8182`, :issue:`7784`, :issue:`4012`)
