 ## Other
 
+- Pin the i686 GNU CI runner to Ubuntu 24.04 to avoid `socketpair` failures on Ubuntu 26.04, see #4101 (@PerchAnton)
+- Fix dead Visual C++ Redistributable link in README, see #3895 (@1t1sCooL)
 - Document `StripAnsiMode` and its variants in rustdoc, see #4067 (@ump45nose)
 - Update Cargo dependencies to resolve current RustSec advisories, see #3861 (@TyceHerrman)
 - Add instructions for removing fish help abbreviations to README, see #3655 (@claw-explorer). Closes #3536

 ## Bugfixes
 - Report `BAT_CONFIG_DIR` in `bat --diagnostic`, so bug reports show a config directory that overrides `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. See #4068 (@ump45nose)
+- Fix `bat` hanging forever on JavaScript (and Svelte) code where an expression is followed by a block comment, e.g. `a /* x */`. Closes #4080, see #4091 (@NavpreetSSidhu)
 - Fix the first line of UTF-16BE input swallowing the second line, which broke line numbers, `--line-range` and highlighting, see #XXXX (@cindykrafft)
 - Exit quietly with status 0 instead of panicking when stdout is closed early (broken pipe) on auxiliary output paths such as `--completion`, `--config-file`, `--diagnostic`, `--generate-config-file`, `--set-terminal-title` and `cache --build`/`--clear`, matching the main output path since #232, closes #4034, see #4035 (@Mathjk)
 - Track strikethrough (SGR 9 / 29) in the ANSI style tracker so it is re-emitted like bold, dim, italic, and underline, and is no longer dropped after the first highlighted token when displaying ANSI input with syntax highlighting, see #4015 (@mikehasa)
