* Intersect returns a result with the eltype of the type-promoted eltypes of the two inputs ([#41769]).
* Iterating an `Iterators.Reverse` now falls back on reversing the eachindex iterator, if possible ([#43110]).

#### Package Manager

* New `⌃` and `⌅` indicators beside packages in `pkg> status` that have new versions available.
`⌅` indicates when new versions cannot be installed ([Pkg#2906]).
* New `outdated::Bool` kwarg to `Pkg.status` (`--outdated` or `-o` in the REPL mode) to show
information about packages not at the latest version ([Pkg#2284]).
* New `compat::Bool` kwarg to `Pkg.status` (`--compat` or `-c` in the REPL mode) to show any [compat]
entries in the Project.toml ([Pkg#2702]).
* New `pkg> compat` (and `Pkg.compat`) mode for setting Project compat entries. Provides an interactive editor
via `pkg> compat`, or direct entry manipulation via `pkg> Foo 0.4,0.5` which can load current entries via tab-completion.
i.e. `pkg> compat Fo<TAB>` autocompletes to `pkg> Foo 0.4,0.5` so that the existing entry can be edited ([Pkg#2702]).
* Pkg now only tries to download packages from the package server in case the server tracks a registry that contains
the package ([Pkg#2689]).
* `Pkg.instantiate` will now warn when a Project.toml is out of sync with a Manifest.toml. It does this by storing a hash
of the project deps and compat entries (other fields are ignored) in the manifest when it is resolved, so that any change
to the Project.toml deps or compat entries without a re-resolve can be detected ([Pkg#2815]).
* If `pkg> add` cannot find a package with the provided name it will now suggest similarly named packages that can be added ([Pkg#2985]).
* The julia version stored in the manifest no longer includes the build number i.e. master will now record as `1.9.0-DEV` ([Pkg#2995]).
* Interrupting a `pkg> test` will now be caught more reliably and exit back to the REPL gracefully ([Pkg#2933]).

#### InteractiveUtils

* New macro `@time_imports` for reporting any time spent importing packages and their dependencies ([#41612]).

* `GC.enable_logging(true)` can be used to log each garbage collection, with the
time it took and the amount of memory that was collected ([#43511]).
