- Fix a bug in TH causing excessive calls to ``setNumCapabilities`` when ``-j`` is greater than ``-N``.
See GHC ticket #23049.
+- ``WARNING`` pragmas may now be annotated with a category, following
+ `GHC proposal #541 <https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0541-warning-pragmas-with-categories.rst>`_, in which case they are controlled with new
+ ``-Wx-⟨category⟩`` flags rather than :ghc-flag:`-Wdeprecations`.
+ A new warning group :ghc-flag:`-Wextended-warnings` includes all such warnings
+ regardless of category. See :ref:`warning-deprecated-pragma`.
