 -  ``fish_key_reader`` sets the exit status to 0 when used with ``--help`` or ``--version`` (#6964).
 -  ``fish_key_reader`` and ``fish_indent`` send output from ``--version`` to standard output, matching other fish binaries (#6964).
 -  A new variable ``$status_generation`` is incremented only when the previous command produces a status. This can be used, for example, to check whether a failure status is a holdover due to a background job, or actually produced by the last run command.
+-  ``fish_greeting`` is now a function that reads a variable of the same name, and defaults to setting it globally. This removes a universal variable by default and helps with updating the greeting. However, to disable the greeting it is now necessary to explicitly specify universal scope (``set -U fish_greeting``) or to disable it in config.fish (#7265).
