 Notable improvements and fixes
 ------------------------------
 - Compound commands (``begin; echo 1; echo 2; end``) can now be now be abbreviated using braces (``{ echo1; echo 2 }``), like in other shells.
-- Fish now supports transient prompts: if :envvar:`fish_transient_prompt` is set to 1, fish will reexecute prompt functions with the ``--final-rendering`` argument before running a commandline.
+- Fish now supports transient prompts: if :envvar:`fish_transient_prompt` is set to 1, fish will reexecute prompt functions with the ``--final-rendering`` argument before running a commandline (:issue:`11153`).
 - When tab completion results are truncated, any common directory name is omitted. E.g. if you complete "share/functions", and it includes the files "foo.fish" and "bar.fish",
-  the completion pager will now show "…/foo.fish" and "…/bar.fish". This will make the candidates shorter and allow for more to be shown at once.
+  the completion pager will now show "…/foo.fish" and "…/bar.fish". This will make the candidates shorter and allow for more to be shown at once (:issue:`11250`).
 - The self-installing configuration introduced in fish 4.0 has been changed.
   Now fish built with embedded data will just read the data straight from its own binary or write it out when necessary, instead of requiring an installation step on start.
   That means it is now possible to build fish as a single file and copy it to a compatible system, including as a different user, without extracting any files.

 Deprecations and removed features
 ---------------------------------
 - Tokens like ``{ echo, echo }`` in command position are no longer interpreted as brace expansion but as compound command.
-- Terminfo-style key names (``bind -k``) are no longer supported. They had been superseded by the native notation.
+- Terminfo-style key names (``bind -k``) are no longer supported. They had been superseded by the native notation since 4.0,
+  and currently they would map back to information from terminfo, which does not match what terminals would send with the kitty keyboard protocol (:issue:`11342`).
 - fish no longer reads the terminfo database, so its behavior is no longer affected by the :envvar:`TERM` environment variable (:issue:`11344`).
   For the time being, this can be turned off via the "ignore-terminfo" feature flag::
 
     set -Ua fish_features no-ignore-terminfo
 
-- The `--install` option when fish is built as self-installable was removed. If you need to write out fish's data you can use the new `status list-files` and `status get-file` subcommands, but it should no longer be necessary. (:issue:`11143`)
-- RGB colors (``set_color ff0000``) now default to using 24-bit RGB true-color commands, even if the terminal does not advertise support via ``COLORTERM``.

+- RGB colors (``set_color ff0000``) now default to using 24-bit RGB true-color commands, even if $COLORTERM is unset, because that is often lost e.g. over ssh (:issue:`11372`)
 
-  - To go back to using the nearest match from the 256-color palette, use ``set fish_term24bit 0`` or ``set COLORTERM 0``.
+  - To go back to using the nearest match from the 256-color palette, use ``set fish_term24bit 0`` or set $COLORTERM to a value that is not "24bit" or "truecolor".
     To make the nearest-match logic use the 16 color palette instead, use ``set fish_term256 0``.
   - Inside macOS Terminal.app, fish makes an attempt to still use the palette colors.
     If that doesn't work, use ``set fish_term24bit 0``.

 - Autosuggestions are now also provided in multi-line command lines. Like `ctrl-r`, autosuggestions operate only on the current line.
 - Autosuggestions used to not suggest multi-line commandlines from history; now autosuggestions include individual lines from multi-line command lines.
 - The history search now preserves ordering between :kbd:`ctrl-s` forward and :kbd:`ctrl-r` backward searches.
-- Left mouse click (as requested by `click_events <terminal-compatibility.html#click-events>`__) can now select pager items.
+- Left mouse click (as requested by `click_events <terminal-compatibility.html#click-events>`__) can now select pager items (:issue:`10932`).
 - Instead of flashing all the text to the left of the cursor, fish now flashes the matched token during history token search, the completed token during completion (:issue:`11050`), the autosuggestion when deleting it, and the full command line in all other cases.
 - Pasted commands are now stripped of any ``$`` prefix.

 For distributors
 ----------------
-- ``fish_indent`` and ``fish_key_reader`` are still built as separate binaries for now, but can also be replaced with a symlink if you want to save disk space.
+- ``fish_indent`` and ``fish_key_reader`` are still built as separate binaries for now, but can also be replaced with a symlink if you want to save disk space (:issue:`10876`).
+- The CMake system was simplified and no longer second-guesses rustup. It will run rustc and cargo via $PATH or in ~/.cargo/bin/.
+  If that doesn't match your setup, set the Rust_COMPILER and Rust_CARGO cmake variables (:issue:`11328`).
+- Cygwin support has been reintroduced, since rust gained a Cygwin target (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134999, :issue:`11238`).
