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'.

- **fixed** — Conditional section branches keep their bulleted and numbered list formatting when the snippet expands, and snippets already saved without that formatting are repaired when you open them
- **fixed** — Pressing Backspace on a conditional or optional section marker now asks for confirmation, keeping the marker and its matching pair intact
