 - `[jest-jasmine2]` Use prettier through `require` instead of `localRequire`. Fixes `matchInlineSnapshot` where prettier dependencies like `path` and `fs` are mocked with `jest.mock`. ([#6776](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6776))
 - `[docs]` Fix contributors link ([#6711](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6711))
 - `[website]` Fix website versions page to link to correct language ([#6734](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6734))
+- `[jest-config]` Fix `--coverage` with `--findRelatedTests` overwriting `collectCoverageFrom` options ([#6736](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6736))
