+
+!!! BE CAREFUL: BREAKING CHANGES !!!
+
+Breaking changes:
+
+- Dropped official support for IE11. 
+- Upgraded to `typed-function@3`, see [josdejong/typed-function/HISTORY.md](https://github.com/josdejong/typed-function/blob/develop/HISTORY.md#2022-05-12-version-300). Thanks @gwhitney. Most importantly: 
+    - Conversions now have preference over `any`.
+    - The `this` variable is no longer bound to the typed function itself.
+    - The properties `typed.types`, `typed.conversions`, and `typed.ignore` 
+      have been removed.
+    - There are new static functions available like `typed.referTo`, 
+      `typed.referToSelf`, `typed.addTypes`, `typed.addConversions`.
+- Implement amended "Rule 2" for implicit multiplication (#2370, #2460):
+  when having a division followed by an implicit multiplication, the division 
+  gets higher precedence over the implicit multiplication when (a) the 
+  numerator is a constant with optionally a prefix operator (`-`, `+`, `~`), 
+  and (b) the denominator is a constant. For example: formerly `-1 / 2 x` was 
+  interpreted as `-1 / (2 * x)` and now it is interpreted as `(-1 / 2) * x`.
+  Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Drop elementwise matrix support for trigonometric functions, exp, log, gamma,
+  square, sqrt, cube, and cbrt to prevent confusion with standard matrix 
+  functions (#2440, #2465). Instead, use `math.map(matrix, fn)`. 
+  Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Simplify: convert equivalent function calls into operators, for example, 
+  `add(2, x)` will now be simplified into `2 + x` (#2415, #2466).
+  Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Removed the automatic conversion from `number` to `string` (#2482).
+  Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Fix #2412: let function `diff` return an empty matrix when the input contains
+  only one element (#2422).
+- Internal refactoring in the `simplifyCore` logic (#2490, #2484, #2459).
+  The function `simplifyCore` will no longer (partially) merge constants, that 
+  behavior has been moved to `simplifyConstant`. The combination of 
+  `simplifyConstant` and `simplifyCore` is still close to the old behavior 
+  of `simplifyCore`, but there are some differences. To reproduce the same 
+  behavior as the old `simplifyCore`, you can use 
+  `math.simplify(expr, [math.simplifyCore, math.simplifyConstant])`. 
+  Thanks to the refactoring, `simplify` is more thorough in reducing constants. 
+  Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Disable support for splitting rest parameters in chained calculations 
+  (#2485, #2474). For example: `math.chain(3).max(4, 2).done()` will now throw
+  an error rather than return `4`, because the rest parameter of 
+  `math.max(...number)` has been split between the contents of the chain and 
+  the arguments to the max call. Thanks @gwhitney.
+- Function `typeOf` now returns `function` (lowercase) for a function instead 
+  of `Function` (#2560). Thanks @gwhitney.
+
+Non-breaking changes:
+
+- Fix #2600: improve the TypeScript definitions of `simplify`. 
+  Thanks @laureen-m and @mattvague.
+- Fix #2607: improve type definition of `createUnit`. Thanks @egziko.
+- Fix #2608: clarify the docs on the need to configure a smaller `epsilon`
+  when using BigNumbers.
+- Fix #2613: describe matrix methods `get` and `set` in the docs.
+- Fix link to `math.rationalize` in the docs (#2616). Thanks @nukisman.
+- Fix #2621: add TypeScript definitions for `count` (#2622). Thanks @Hansuku.
+- Improved TypeScript definitions of `multiply` (#2623). Thanks @Windrill.
