+$(BUGSTITLE_TEXT_BODY Compiler changes,
+
+$(LI $(LNAME2 dmd.copying-to-void-arrays,Copying from `const(void)[]` to `void[]` is disallowed with `-preview=fixImmutableConv`)
+$(CHANGELOG_SOURCE_FILE dmd, changelog/dmd.copying-to-void-arrays.dd)
+$(P
+If `const(void)[]` data contains tail `const` pointers, copying to `void[]`
+can subsequently violate `const` data:
+)
+---
+void f(int*[] a, const int*[] b)
+{
+    void[] va = a;
+    const void[] vb = b;
+    va[] = vb[]; // fills `a` with pointers to const
+    *a[0] = 0; // const data mutated
+}
+---
+$(P
+Copying `vb` data to `va` is no longer allowed with the
+`-preview=fixImmutableConv` switch.
+)
+)
+
+$(LI $(LNAME2 dmd.import-exp-hexstring,Import expressions are now treated as hex strings)
+$(CHANGELOG_SOURCE_FILE dmd, changelog/dmd.import-exp-hexstring.dd)
+$(P
+While [Import expressions](https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#import_expressions) are typed as `string`, they are also used to embed binary files.
+By treating them the same as hex strings, they will implicitly convert to arrays of integral types other than `char`.
+)
+
+---
+// Formerly, a cast was required:
+immutable ubyte[] iconImg = cast(immutable ubyte[]) import("icon.png");
+
+// Now, it implicitly converts to integral arrays:
+immutable ubyte[] iconImg = import("icon.png");
+---
+)
+
+$(LI $(LNAME2 dmd.unsafe-boolean-values,`bool` values other than 0 or 1 are not `@safe`)
+$(CHANGELOG_SOURCE_FILE dmd, changelog/dmd.unsafe-boolean-values.dd)
+$(P
+The spec [was updated](https://dlang.org/spec/type.html#bool)
+(for 2.109) so that only 0 and 1 are
+[safe values](https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#safe-values)
+for `bool`. This means that reading a `bool` value whose underlying byte representation
+has other bits set is implementation-defined and should be avoided.
+Consequently the following are deprecated in `@safe` code:
+)
+
+$(P
+* `void` initialization of booleans (since 2.109)
+* Reading a `bool` field from a union (since 2.109)
+* Runtime casting a dynamic array to a `bool` dynamic array type
+* Runtime casting a `bool` dynamic array to a tail mutable dynamic array type
+* Casting a pointer to a `bool` pointer type
+* Casting a `bool` pointer to a tail mutable pointer type
+)

+$(BUGSTITLE_TEXT_BODY Dub changes,
+
+$(LI $(LNAME2 selections_from_parent_dir,`dub.selections.json` files are now looked up in parent directories too)
+$(CHANGELOG_SOURCE_FILE dub, changelog/selections_from_parent_dir.dd)
+$(P
+In case the root package directory doesn't contain a `dub.selections.json`
+file, dub now looks in parent directories too and potentially uses the
+first (deepest) one it finds - if and only if that JSON file contains an
+optional new `"inheritable": true` flag.
+)
+
+$(P
+This allows using a 'central' `dub.selections.json` file for a repository
+containing multiple dub projects, making it automatically apply to all
+builds in that source tree if located in the repository root directory
+(unless a local `dub.selections.json` overrides it).
+)
+
+$(P
+Such an inherited selections file is never mutated when running dub for a
+nested project, i.e., changes are always saved to a *local*
+`dub.selections.json` file. E.g., when running `dub upgrade` for a nested
+project.
