 * Fix parser recovery, name resolution, and code completion for unfinished enum patterns ([PR #19708](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19708))
 * Parser: fix unexpected diagnostics in debug builds, improve error messages ([PR #19730](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19730))
 * Fix signature conformance: overloaded member with unit parameter `M(())` now matches sig `member M: unit -> unit`. ([Issue #19596](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/19596), [PR #19615](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19615))
+* Fix `--quiet` not suppressing NuGet restore output on stdout in F# Interactive ([Issue #18086](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/18086))
