+- Fix usage of optional path segments in nested routes defined using absolute paths ([#14135](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/14135))
+- Bubble client pre-next middleware error to the shallowest ancestor that needs to load, not strictly the shallowest ancestor with a loader ([#14150](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/14150))
+- Fix optional static segment matching in `matchPath` ([#11813](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/11813))
+- Fix prerendering when a `basename` is set with `ssr:false` ([#13791](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/13791))
+- Provide `isRouteErrorResponse` utility in `react-server` environments ([#14166](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/14166))
+- Handle `meta` and `links` Route Exports in RSC Data Mode ([#14136](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/14136))
+- Properly handle data() values returned or thrown from resource routes and return corresponding responses with the data, status, and headers ([#14159](https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/pull/14159))
