-### Breaking changes
+* For `reactiveValues()` objects, whenever the `$names()` or `$values()` methods are called, the keys are now returned in the order that they were inserted. (#3774)
 
-### New features and improvements
+* The value provided to `options(shiny.json.digits)` is now interpreted as number of _digits after the decimal_ instead of _significant digits_. To treat the value as significant digits, wrap it in `I()` (e.g., `options(shiny.json.digits = I(4))`). This new default behavior not only helps with reducing digits in testing snapshots, but is also more consistent with `{jsonlite}`'s default behavior. (#3819)
 
-* Closed #789: Dynamic UI is now rendered asynchronously, thanks in part to the newly exported `Shiny.renderDependenciesAsync()`, `Shiny.renderHtmlAsync()`, and `Shiny.renderContentAsync()`. Importantly, this means `<script>` tags are now loaded asynchronously (the old way used `XMLHttpRequest`, which is synchronous). In addition, `Shiny` now manages a queue of async tasks (exposed via `Shiny.shinyapp.taskQueue`) so that order of execution is preserved. (#3666)

-* `Map` objects are now initialized at load time instead of build time. This avoids potential problems that could arise from storing `fastmap` objects into the built Shiny package. (#3775)
+* Fixes #3840: `updateSliderInput()` now warns when attempting to set invalid `min`, `max`, or `value` values. Sending an invalid update message to an input no longer causes other update messages to fail. (#3843)
 
-* Allow for `shiny:::toJSON()` to respect if `digits=` has class `"AsIs"` which represents if `use_signif=` is `TRUE` or `FALSE`. This is useful for testing to keep the digits smaller. For example, setting `options(shiny.json.digits = 4)` will save 4 digits after the decimal, rather than the default of `I(16)` which will save 16 significant digits. (#3819)
+* `sliderInput()` now has a larger target area for clicking or tapping on the slider handle or range. (#3859)
 
 * Closed #2956: Component authors can now prevent Shiny from creating an input binding on specific elements by adding the `data-shiny-no-bind-input` attribute to the element. The attribute may have any or no value; its presence will prevent binding. This feature is primarily useful for input component authors who want to use standard HTML input elements without causing Shiny to create an input binding for them. Additionally, Shiny now adds custom classes to its inputs. For example, `checkboxInput()` now has a `shiny-input-checkbox` class. These custom classes may be utilized in future updates to Shiny's input binding logic. (#3861)
 
-* Slider inputs created with `sliderInput()` now have a larger target area for clicking or tapping on the slider line or the slider bar. (#3859)
+* `Map` objects are now initialized at load time instead of build time. This avoids potential problems that could arise from storing `fastmap` objects into the built Shiny package. (#3775)

+## Bug fixes
 
 * Fixed #3771: Sometimes the error `ion.rangeSlider.min.js: i.stopPropagation is not a function` would appear in the JavaScript console. (#3772)
 
 * Fixed #3833: When `width` is provided to `textAreaInput()`, we now correctly set the width of the `<textarea>` element. (#3838)
 
-* Fixes #3840: `updateSliderInput()` now warns when attempting to set invalid `min`, `max`, or `value` values. Sending an invalid update message to an input no longer causes other update messages to fail. (#3843)
