+
+### [Add second example to "boxes around subfigures how-to page"](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4578)
+An additional example has been added to the "boxes around subfigures" how-to page to enhance the documentation.
+
+### [Don't force triangle mesh in crossbar with notch to avoid CairoMakie artifacts](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4587)
+The code now avoids creating triangle meshes in crossbars with notches to prevent seam artifacts in CairoMakie.
+
+### [Fix 2D assumption in point-based convert_args for lines](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4585)
+This change removes the 2D assumption, enabling 3D polygons to be plotted via `lines` and `scatter` functions.
+
+### [Fix Axis3 frameline z-sorting in CairoMakie](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4591)
+Corrects the z-sorting for Axis3 framelines in CairoMakie by adjusting translations specifically for CairoMakie.
+
+### [Add an example of using jupyter-server-proxy with WGLMakie](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4577)
+An example demonstrating the use of jupyter-server-proxy with WGLMakie has been added to the documentation.
+
+### [Prevent more default actions when canvas has focus](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4602)
+The update stops certain default actions when the canvas is in focus, addressing issues such as losing focus when arrow keys are pressed.
+
+### [Improve performance of project_line_points](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4601)
+Significantly improved the performance of the `project_line_points` function in CairoMakie, reducing allocation and execution time.
+
+### [Fix uint16 overflow for over ~65k elements in picking](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4604)
+The picking functionality now correctly handles cases with more than 65,000 elements by fixing a uint16 overflow issue.
+
+### [Add informative error if invalid side is used for violin](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4612)
+Adds an error message clarification when an invalid side is specified for a violin plot, avoiding silent fallbacks to default values.
+
+### [Fix RPRMakie EnvironmentLight orientation](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4629)
+The orientation of the EnvironmentLight in RPRMakie has been corrected for better accuracy and usability.
+
+### [Fix incorrect comparison in CairoMakie line projections](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4631)
+Addresses an issue in CairoMakie where an incorrect comparison in line projections caused rendering problems.
+
+### [Fix colorbuffer(axis) for px_per_unit](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4574)
+This change addresses an unspecified issue related to `colorbuffer` and `px_per_unit`.
+
+### [Fix misaligned colors in colorbar](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4618)
+Adjustments have been made to ensure colorbars built from contour plots are aligned correctly, preventing miscoloration.
+
+### [Fix CairoMakie heatmap offsets](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4633)
+Corrects the offset of heatmap cells in CairoMakie by adjusting pixel padding, closing gaps, and improving cell alignment.
+
+### [Add kwarg to rotate Toggle](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4471)
+Introduces the `orientation` keyword argument for the `Toggle` widget to allow rotation of the toggle in radians.
+
+### [Only use automatic unit conversion for simple units (not compound units)](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4583)
+Automatic unit conversion is restricted to simple units, leaving compound units unchanged to ensure accuracy.

+
+### [Maximum auto ticklabelspace](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4642)
+Implemented an `:max_auto` for tick label space in Axis and Colorbar, to always just grow the tick space, which reduces jitter.
+
+### [Show a "Did you mean:" suggestion for thrown InvalidAttributeErrors via levenshtein distance](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4645)
+This change introduces suggestions for InvalidAttributeErrors using Levenshtein distance for possible typos.
+
+### [Add linkaxes to S.GridLayout and make sure limits don't reset for axis links](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4643)
+Introduces `xaxislinks` and `yaxislinks` to `S.GridLayout` and maintain zoom states when axes are swapped.
+
+### [Some convert_argument fixes](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4599)
+### [Provide suggestions for unknown kwargs passed to blocks](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4392)
+### [Fix exception when WGLMakie is initialized after element removal](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4343)
+### [Fix bounds error for record in wglmakie](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4639)
+### [Add backend and update keyword to show](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/4558)
