 - Performance improvements to globbing, especially on systems using glibc. In some cases (large directories with files with many numbers in the names) this almost halves the time taken to expand the glob.
-- Autosuggestions can now be turned off by setting ``$fish_autosuggestion_enabled`` to 0, and (almost) all highlighting can be turned off by choosing the new "None" theme. The exception is necessary colors, e.g. to distinguish autosuggestions from the actual command line. (:issue:`8376`)

 - ``$status`` is now forbidden as a command, to prevent a surprisingly common error among new users: Running ``if $status`` (:issue:`8171`). This applies *only* to ``$status``, other variables are still allowed.
-- ``set --query`` now returns a falsy status of 255 if given no variable names. This means ``if set -q $foo`` will not enter the if-block if ``$foo`` is empty or unset. To restore the previous behavior you would use something like ``if not set -q foo; or set -q $foo``. We do not expect anyone to have used this on purpose, any places this happens are almost certainly buggy (:issue:`8214`).
-- Mac OS X 10.9 is no longer supported. The minimum Mac version is now 10.10 "Yosemite."
+- ``set --query`` now returns an exit status of 255 if given no variable names. This means ``if set -q $foo`` will not enter the if-block if ``$foo`` is empty or unset. To restore the previous behavior, use ``if not set -q foo; or set -q $foo`` - but this is unlikely to be desireable (:issue:`8214`).
 - ``_`` is now a reserved keyword (:issue:`8342`).
 - The special input functions ``delete-or-exit``, ``nextd-or-forward-word`` and ``prevd-or-backward-word`` replace fish functions of the same names (:issue:`8538`).

 - ``$fish_user_paths`` is now automatically deduplicated to fix a common user error of appending to it in config.fish when it is universal (:issue:`8117`). :ref:`fish_add_path <cmd-fish_add_path>` remains the recommended way to add to $PATH.
-- ``return`` can now be used outside of functions. In scripts it does the same thing as :program:`exit`, in the command line it sets ``$status`` without exiting (:issue:`8148`).
-- An oversight prevented all syntax checks from running on commands given to ``fish -c`` (:issue:`8171`). This includes checks like e.g. ``exec`` not being allowed in a pipeline and ``$$`` not being a valid variable. Most of these would have triggered an assert or other error before.
+- ``return`` can now be used outside functions. In scripts, it does the same thing as ``exit``. In interactive mode,it sets ``$status`` without exiting (:issue:`8148`).
+- An oversight prevented all syntax checks from running on commands given to ``fish -c`` (:issue:`8171`). This includes checks such as ``exec`` not being allowed in a pipeline, and ``$$`` not being a valid variable. Generally, another error was generated anyway.
 - ``fish_indent`` now correctly reformats tokens that end with a backslash followed by a newline (:issue:`8197`).
 - ``commandline`` gained an ``--is-valid`` option to check if the command line is syntactically valid and complete. This allows basic implementation of transient prompts (:issue:`8142`).
 - ``commandline`` gained a ``--paging-full-mode`` option to check if the pager is showing all the possible lines (no "7 more rows" message) (:issue:`8485`).
 - List expansion correctly reports an error when used with all zero indexes (:issue:`8213`).
-- Running ``fish`` with a directory instead of a script as argument (e.g. ``fish .``) no longer leads to an infinite loop. Instead it errors out immediately (:issue:`8258`)
+- Running ``fish`` with a directory instead of a script as argument (eg ``fish .``) no longer leads to an infinite loop. Instead it errors out immediately (:issue:`8258`)
 - Some error messages occuring after fork, like "text file busy" have been replaced by bespoke error messages for fish (like "File is currently open for writing"). This also restores error messages with current glibc versions that removed sys_errlist (:issue:`8234`, :issue:`4183`).
 - The ``realpath`` builtin now also squashes leading slashes with the ``--no-symlinks`` option (:issue:`8281`).
 - When trying to ``cd`` to a dangling (broken) symbolic link, fish will print an error noting that the target is a broken link (:issue:`8264`).
 - On MacOS terminals that are not granted permissions to access a folder, ``cd`` would print a spurious "rotten symlink" error, which has been corrected to "permission denied" (:issue:`8264`).
-- Since fish 3.0, for-loops would trigger a variable handler an additional time before the loop was entered. This has been corrected (:issue:`8384`).
+- Since fish 3.0, ``for`` loops would trigger a variable handler function before the loop was entered. As the variable had not actually changed or been set, this was a spurious event and has been removed (:issue:`8384`).
 - ``math`` now correctly prints negative values and values larger than ``2**31`` when in hex or octal bases (:issue:`8417`).
 - ``dirs`` always produces an exit status of 0, instead of sometimes returning 1 (:issue:`8211`).
 - ``cd ""`` no longer crashes fish (:issue:`8147`).

 - ``funced`` will try to edit the whole file containing a function definition, if there is one (:issue:`391`).
 - Running a command line consisting of just spaces now deletes an ephemeral (starting with space) history item again (:issue:`8232`).
 - 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.
