What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

---

- **changed** — Move versioned prerelease changesets to .changeset/pre/ folder instead of accumulating in the root and tracking versioned changeset ids in .changeset/pre.json file, with auto-migration of existing pre.json on next run of changeset version or changeset status
- **changed** — Private packages are no longer versioned by default; set privatePackages to true to opt into versioning and tagging them, or set privatePackages.version to true to version them without tagging
- **added** — Allow comma-separated values in array-valued CLI flags: the --major, --minor, and --patch flags of the add command, and the --ignore flag of the version command

###### Major Changes

- [#2190](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/pull/2190) [`96b65ee`](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/commit/96b65eec4af2c58301a11cd7dff42a6bde9c9f8a) Thanks [@bluwy](https://github.com/bluwy)! - Move versioned prerelease changesets to `.changeset/pre/` folder instead of accumulating in the root and tracking the versioned changeset ids in the `.changeset/pre.json` file. Existing `pre.json` will auto-migrate to this new structure on the next run of `changeset version` or when calling `changeset status`.

  This change allows easier management of versioned prerelease changesets (for the final stable release) and current queued changesets (for the next prerelease). Changesets in `.changeset/pre/` can be edited or deleted depending if it's still relevant for the final stable release of a package. There's no need to synchronize the changeset ids in `pre.json` if certain changesets are deleted.

- [#2186](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/pull/2186) [`3910adf`](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/commit/3910adf3ebaef14196093715228885c4819d0cbf) Thanks [@Andarist](https://github.com/Andarist)! - Private packages are no longer versioned by default. Set `privatePackages` to `true` to opt into versioning and tagging them, or set `privatePackages.version` to `true` to version them without tagging.

###### Minor Changes

- [#2135](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/pull/2135) [`fd7724a`](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/commit/fd7724ad63cee56f6868d3e7f140d51cd8f88932) Thanks [@youdie006](https://github.com/youdie006)! - Allow comma-separated values in array-valued CLI flags: the `--major`, `--minor`, and `--patch` flags of the `add` command, and the `--ignore` flag of the `version` command. For example, `--minor pkg-a,pkg-b` is now equivalent to `--minor pkg-a --minor pkg-b`. Surrounding whitespace is trimmed and empty entries are ignored.
