 3.1.71 (in development)
 -----------------------
 - LLVM's `-Wnontrivial-memaccess` warning has been updated to also warn about
-  passing non-trivially-copyable destrination parameter to `memcpy`,
+  passing non-trivially-copyable destination parameter to `memcpy`,
   `memset` and similar functions for which it is a documented undefined
   behavior (#22798). See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/111434
 - The automatic fallback to `$HOME/.emscripten_cache` when the emscripten
   directory is read-only was removed.  This automatic behaviour could cause
   confusion.  Anyone who really wants to use `$HOME/.emscripten_cache` can
   still do so either via an environment variable (`EMCC_CACHE`) or via a config
   file setting `CACHE`.
+- The standalone `file_packager.py` tool now outputs modern JS (specifically it
+  includes nullish assignment).  If you use this output directly and you want
+  to support older browser you may need to transpile it.  If you use
+  `file_packager` via emcc the output will be transpiled as part of the emcc
+  output. (#22805)
