* The new macro `Base.Cartesian.@ncallkw` is analogous to `Base.Cartesian.@ncall`,
but allows to add keyword arguments to the function call ([#51501]).
* Support for Unicode 15.1 ([#51799]).
* Three new types around the idea of text with "annotations" (`Pair{Symbol, Any}`
entries, e.g. `:lang => "en"` or `:face => :magenta`). These annotations
are preserved across operations (e.g. string concatenation with `*`) when
possible.
* `AnnotatedString` is a new `AbstractString` type. It wraps an underlying
string and allows for annotations to be attached to regions of the string.
This type is used extensively in the new `StyledStrings` standard library to
hold styling information.
* `AnnotatedChar` is a new `AbstractChar` type. It wraps another char and
holds a list of annotations that apply to it.
* `AnnotatedIOBuffer` is a new `IO` type that mimics an `IOBuffer`, but has
specialised `read`/`write` methods for annotated content. This can be
thought of both as a "string builder" of sorts and also as glue between
annotated and unannotated content.
* `Manifest.toml` files can now be renamed in the format `Manifest-v{major}.{minor}.toml`
to be preferentially picked up by the given julia version. i.e. in the same folder,
a `Manifest-v1.11.toml` would be used by v1.11 and `Manifest.toml` by every other julia
