+## Notable changes
+
+### Experimental: Improve Realm, Mutator, and Typekit implementations
+
+The compiler strongly binds a Realm and Typekit together, and changes mutators so that new types are cloned within the mutator's realm. The default Typekit now creates a default typekit realm for the current program, and a Typekit can be easily created to work in a specific Program or Realm as needed.
+
+### Enum-driven Visibility
+
+A new mechanism for visibility that defines valid visibility values in enums and provides tools for filtering types by visibility. A new `LifecycleVisibility` enum defines standard protocol-agnostic visibility values for operations that manage the lifecycle (creation, update, deletion) of a resource. More details on visibility enums are available [in website documentation](../language-basics/visibility.md)
