 ### Features
 
 - `[jest-runtime]` Add `jest.isolateModules` for scoped module initialization ([#6701](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6701))
+- `[jest-diff]` [**BREAKING**] Support diffing numbers and booleans instead of returning null for different ones ([#7605](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/7605))
 - `[jest-diff]` [**BREAKING**] Replace `diff` with `diff-sequences` package ([#6961](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6961))
 - `[jest-cli]` [**BREAKING**] Only set error process error codes when they are non-zero ([#7363](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/7363))
 - `[jest-config]` [**BREAKING**] Deprecate `setupTestFrameworkScriptFile` in favor of new `setupFilesAfterEnv` ([#7119](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/7119))
