+- Initial WebGPU support (@vincentfretin)
+
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+- Remove unused width and height properties from flat and standard shaders (#5647) (@mrxz)
+- Relax the `clientWidth` constraint in the controls tests. Fix tests on Ubuntu (#5641) (@@enzofrancescaHM)
+- Check if `XRSession` exists before attaching `inputsourcechange` listener (#5631) (@mrxz)
+- Don't apply anchor scale (only position and rotation) to an `anchored` entity (#5633) (@mrxz)
+- Wait until `referenceSpace` is available befor initializing compositor layers (#5626) (@vincentfretin)
+- Remove `raycaster-closest-entity-changed` listener when removing the `cursor` component (#5625) (@vincentfretin)
+- Handle `cursor` `rayOrigin` updates and `rayOrigin: mouse` when component attached to an entity and not `a-scene` (fix #4759) (#4760) (@kylebakerio)
+- Fix light shadow frustum visualization via CameraHelper (fix #5098) (#5099) (@IanSweeneyAC, @dmarcos)
+- Prevent loading cubemap for a probe light when `envMap` is not set (fix #5610) (#5611) (@mrxz)
+- Prevent redundant `pinchstarted` events on a hand tracking pinch gesture (#5609) (@mrxz)
+- Improve `cursor` component `xrselect` logic. Handle `rayOrigin` property changes and account for camera rigs when calculating the raycaster direction (#5606) (@mrxz, @vincentfretin)
+- Fix Apple Vision Pro detection logic to prevent false positives on iPad and iPhone (fix #5605) (#5607) (@vincentfretin)
+- Remove fullscreen CSS styles from the document element when `a-scene` is disconnected (#5602) (@gunhaxxor)
+- Adjust light intensity defaults and examples to account for `WebGLRenderer.useLegacyLights` deprecation in THREE r165 (#8813d3d2) (@dmarcos)
+- Fix model visibility logic of tracked hands and controllers when there are input switches (e.g hands to controllers) (#fa0cc748) (@dmarcos)
+- Prevent a-loader-title div (A-Frame created HTML element) to be serialized (#5574) (@vincentfretin)
+- Disable magic window mode in Vision Pro that is only suitable for handheld mobile devices (#5560) (@dmarcos)
+- Don't bubble `<a-asset-item>` error event that was preventing some tests to execute (#5548) (@mrxz)
+- Don't stringify properties with undefined values to prevent flushToDOM to produce properties with the `undefined` string (#5549) (@mrxz)
+- Fix serialization / stringification of asset type properties. When an HTML element they got exported incorrectly as e.g `[object HTMLImageElement]` (#5544) (@mrxz, @vincentfretin)
+- Refresh raycasted objects only when the `objects` raycaster component property changes. Prevent unnecessary costly updates (#5542) (@vincentfretin)
+- Fix issue when using `<a-cubemap>` as texture component envMap (@Omegahed
+, @mrxz)
+- Fix incorrect texture reference counting, potentially leading to exceptions upon disposal of the texture (#5529) (@mrxz)
