 ### Breaking Changes
 
 -   `Autocomplete.Item`, `Combobox.Item`, `SearchableSelect.Item`, `SearchableChipSelect.Item`, `SearchableSelectControl.Item`, and `SearchableChipSelectControl.Item` now require an `ItemLabel` as their first direct child, followed only by optional `ItemDescription` components. Wrap existing text children in `ItemLabel` ([#83493](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/83493)).
+-   `Notice`: Remove built-in screen reader announcements and the `spokenMessage` and `politeness` props. Consumers now announce dynamic updates explicitly, for example with `speak()` from `@wordpress/a11y` ([#82737](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82737)).

 -   `Autocomplete`, `Combobox`, `SearchableSelect`, `SearchableChipSelect`, `SearchableSelectControl`, and `SearchableChipSelectControl` add `ItemLabel` and `ItemDescription` subcomponents. Searchable selection items also accept an optional `description` string ([#83493](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/83493)).
 
+### Bug Fixes
+
+-   `Select`, `SelectControl`, `Combobox`, `SearchableSelect`, `SearchableChipSelect`, `SearchableChipSelectControl`: Align the selected-item checkmark with the first line of the item label while keeping single-line items vertically centered. ([#82942](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82942))
+-   `Popover`: Close non-modal popovers when the user presses inside a same-origin iframe. ([#83509](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/83509))
+-   `CollapsibleCard`: Only show the header's focus ring when its own trigger is keyboard-focused ([#81314](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/81314)).
