- ``functions --handlers`` will now list handlers in a different order.
Now it is definition order, first to last, where before it was last to first.
This was never specifically defined, and we recommend not relying on a specific order (:issue:`9944`).
- The ``qmark-noglob`` feature flag, introduced in fish 3.0, is now turned on by default. That means ``?`` will no longer act as a single-character glob.
You can, for the time being, turn it back on by adding ``no-qmark-noglob`` to :envvar:`fish_features` and restarting fish::
set -Ua fish_features no-qmark-noglob
The flag will eventually be made read-only, making it impossible to turn off.

> status features
stderr-nocaret on 3.0 ^ no longer redirects stderr
qmark-noglob off 3.0 ? no longer globs
qmark-noglob on 3.0 ? no longer globs
regex-easyesc on 3.1 string replace -r needs fewer \\'s
ampersand-nobg-in-token on 3.4 & only backgrounds if followed by a separating character
Here is what they mean:
- ``stderr-nocaret`` was introduced in fish 3.0 (and made the default in 3.3). It makes ``^`` an ordinary character instead of denoting an stderr redirection, to make dealing with quoting and such easier. Use ``2>`` instead. This can no longer be turned off since fish 3.5. The flag can still be tested for compatibility, but a ``no-stderr-nocaret`` value will simply be ignored.
- ``qmark-noglob`` was also introduced in fish 3.0. It makes ``?`` an ordinary character instead of a single-character glob. Use a ``*`` instead (which will match multiple characters) or find other ways to match files like ``find``.
- ``qmark-noglob`` was also introduced in fish 3.0 (and made the default in 3.8). It makes ``?`` an ordinary character instead of a single-character glob. Use a ``*`` instead (which will match multiple characters) or find other ways to match files like ``find``.
- ``regex-easyesc`` was introduced in 3.1. It makes it so the replacement expression in ``string replace -r`` does one fewer round of escaping. Before, to escape a backslash you would have to use ``string replace -ra '([ab])' '\\\\\\\\$1'``. After, just ``'\\\\$1'`` is enough. Check your ``string replace`` calls if you use this anywhere.
- ``ampersand-nobg-in-token`` was introduced in fish 3.4. It makes it so a ``&`` i no longer interpreted as the backgrounding operator in the middle of a token, so dealing with URLs becomes easier. Either put spaces or a semicolon after the ``&``. This is recommended formatting anyway, and ``fish_indent`` will have done it for you already.
