 - Fixed a crash when GNU statement expression contains invalid statement (#GH113468).
 - Fixed a failed assertion when using ``__attribute__((noderef))`` on an
   ``_Atomic``-qualified type (#GH116124).
+- No longer return ``false`` for ``noexcept`` expressions involving a
+  ``delete`` which resolves to a destroying delete but the type of the object
+  being deleted has a potentially throwing destructor (#GH118660).
