 ### New features and improvements
 
+* `plotOutput()`, `imageOutput()`, and `uiOutput()` gain a `fill` argument. If `TRUE` (the default for `plotOutput()`), the output container is allowed to grow/shrink to fit a fill container (created via `htmltools::bindFillRole()`) with an opinionated height. This means `plotOutput()` will grow/shrink by default [inside of `bslib::card_body_fill()`](https://rstudio.github.io/bslib/articles/cards.html#responsive-sizing), but `imageOutput()` and `uiOutput()` will have to opt-in to similar behavior with `fill = TRUE`. (#3715) 
+
 * Internal: Added clearer and strict TypeScript type definitions (#3644)
