+The following changes are highlights of this release:
+
+### Language

+* Support binary integer literals using `0b`, as in Java ([#10656](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10656) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))
+
+### Compatibility
+
+* TASTy reader: support Scala 3.4 ([#10670](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10670) by [@bishabosha](https://github.com/bishabosha))

+
+### Align with Scala 3
+
+* Allow either `-Xsource:3` (for preparing to switch to 3) and `-Xsource:3-cross` (for crossbuilding on 2 and 3) ([#10573](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10573) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))

+* Scala 3 migration warning for implicits found in package prefix ([#10621](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10621) by [@lrytz](https://github.com/lrytz))
+
+### Other improvements
+
+* `-Yrelease` supplements `--release`, allows access to additional JVM packages ([#10543](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10543) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))
+* Add `-Xlint:named-booleans` to lint unnamed boolean literal args [ci: last-only] ([#10612](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10612) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))
+* Respect `java.lang.Deprecated` annotation even in Scala sources ([#10517](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10517) by [@kapunga](https://github.com/kapunga))
+* Optimize tail recursion on effectively final methods even when `final` keyword is absent ([#10629](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10629) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))

+* In mixed compilation, allow Java sources to reference `MODULE$` ([#10644](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/10644) by [@som-snytt](https://github.com/som-snytt))
