 - Truncated long sort options in `ResourceList` ([#2957](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/2957)
 - Updated type restrictions for `Pagination` to allow its `label` prop to accept `React.ReactNode` instead of `string` ([#2972](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/2972))
+- Added an `emptySearchState` prop to `ResourceList` to enable the customization of the empty search state ([#2971](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/2971))
