-* New features of YJIT
-  * Add unified memory limit via `--yjit-mem-size` command-line option (default 128MiB)
-    which tracks total YJIT memory usage and is more intuitive than the
-    old `--yjit-exec-mem-size`.
-  * More statistics now always available via `RubyVM::YJIT.runtime_stats`
-  * Add compilation log to track what gets compiled via `--yjit-log`
-    * Tail of the log also available at run-time via `RubyVM::YJIT.log`
-  * Add support for shareable consts in multi-ractor mode
-  * Can now trace counted exits with `--yjit-trace-exits=COUNTER`
-  * Compressed context reduces memory needed to store YJIT metadata
+### YJIT
 
-* New optimizations of YJIT
-  * Improved allocator with ability to allocate registers for local variables
-  * When YJIT is enabled, use more Core primitives written in Ruby:
-    * `Array#each`, `Array#select`, `Array#map` rewritten in Ruby for better performance [[Feature #20182]].
-  * Ability to inline small/trivial methods such as:
-    * Empty methods
-    * Methods returning a constant
-    * Methods returning `self`
-    * Methods directly returning an argument
-  * Specialized codegen for many more runtime methods
-  * Optimize `String#getbyte`, `String#setbyte` and other string methods
-  * Optimize bitwise operations to speed up low-level bit/byte manipulation
-  * Various other incremental optimizations
