-## Notable fixes and improvements
+## Notable improvements
+- A new `cdh` (change directory using recent history) command provides a more friendly alternative to prevd/nextd and pushd/popd (#2847).
 - A new `argparse` command is available to allow fish script to parse arguments with the same behavior as builtin commands. This also includes the `fish_opt` helper command. (#4190).
-- The `COLUMNS` and `LINES` env vars are now correctly set the first time `fish_prompt` is run (#4141).
-- New `status is-breakpoint` command that is true when a prompt is displayed in response to a `breakpoint` command (#1310).
 - Invalid array indexes are now silently ignored (#826, #4127).
-- `string escape` has a new `--style=xxx` flag where `xxx` can be `script`, `var`, or `url` (#4150).
+- Improvements to the debugging facility, including a prompt specific to the debugger (`fish_breakpoint_prompt`) and a `status is-breakpoint` subcommand (#1310).
-- `string unescape` has been implemented to reverse the effects of `string escape` (#3543).
+- `string` supports new `lower` and `upper` subcommands, for altering the case of strings (#4080). The case changing is not locale-aware yet.
-- The history file can now be specified by setting the `fish_history` variable (#102).
+- `string escape` has a new `--style=xxx` flag where `xxx` can be `script`, `var`, or `url` (#4150), and can be reversed with `string unescape` (#3543).
+- History can now be split into sessions with the `fish_history` variable, or not saved to disk at all (#102).
 - Read history is now controlled by the `fish_history` variable rather than the `--mode-name` flag (#1504).
-- Implement a `cdh` (change directory using recent history) command to provide a more friendly alternative to prevd/nextd and pushd/popd (#2847).
+- `command` now supports an `--all` flag to report all directories with the command. `which` is no longer a runtime dependency (#2778).
-- `command` now supports a `-a` flag to report all directories with the command. This means that `which -a $cmd` is no longer necessary (#2778).
+- fish can run commands before starting an interactive session using the new `--init-command`/`-C` options (#4164).
-- `--init-command`/`-C` added to the command line switches, to allow execution of commands before starting the interactive shell (#4164).
 - `set` has a new `--show` option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
 
 ## Other significant changes
-
+- The `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables are now correctly set the first time `fish_prompt` is run (#4141).
 - `complete`'s `--no-files` option works as intended (#112).

-- Improved completions for `killall` (#4052), `ln` (#4090) and `zypper` (#4079).
+- The `export` compatibility function now returns zero on success, rather than always returning 1 (#4435).

-- `help` can now open the tutorial.
-- `echo -h` now correctly echoes `-h` (#4120).
 - Stop converting empty elements in MANPATH to "." (#4158). The behavior being changed was introduced in fish 2.6.0.
-- `count -h` and `count --help` now return one rather than produce command help output (#4189).
+- `count -h` and `count --help` now return 1 rather than produce command help output (#4189).
-- Fix setting `$COLUMNS` and `$LINES` before first prompt is displayed (#4141).
+- An attempt to `read` which stops because too much data is available still defines the variables given as parameters (#4180).
-- `read` failures due to too much data should define the var (#4180).
+- A regression in fish 2.4.0 which prevented `pushd +1` from working has been fixed (#4091).
-- multiple `read` commands in non-interactive scripts were broken in fish 2.6.0 (#4206).
+- A regression in fish 2.6.0 where multiple `read` commands in non-interactive scripts were broken has been fixed (#4206).
-- Fix regression involving universal variables with side-effects at startup such as `set -U fish_escape_delay_ms 10` (#4196).
+- A regression in fish 2.6.0 involving universal variables with side-effects at startup such as `set -U fish_escape_delay_ms 10` has been fixed (#4196).
