- fish is less aggressive about resetting terminal modes, such as flow control, after every command.
Although flow control remains off by default, enterprising users can now enable it for external commands with
``stty`` (:issue:`2315`).
- A new ``fish_add_path`` helper function to add paths to $PATH without producing duplicates, to be used interactively or in ``config.fish`` (:issue:`6960`).

- The output of ``time`` is now properly aligned in all cases (:issue:`6726`, :issue:`6714`) and no longer depends on locale (:issue:`6757`).
- The ``pwd`` command supports the long options ``--logical`` and ``--physical``, matching other implementations (:issue:`6787`).
- The command-not-found handling has been simplified. When it can't find a command, fish now just executes a function called ``fish_command_not_found`` instead of firing an event, making it easier to replace and reason about. Previously-defined ``__fish_command_not_found_handler`` functions with an appropriate event listener will still work (:issue:`7293`).
- Control-C no longer occasionally prints an "unknown command" error (:issue:`7145`) or overwrites multiline prompts (:issue:`3537`).
- Control-C handling has been reimplemented in C++ and is therefore quicker (:issue:`5259`), no longer occasionally prints an "unknown command" error (:issue:`7145`) or overwrites multiline prompts (:issue:`3537`).
