- `update cells` gained `--recursive` flag to visit nested leaf values in records and lists. Pull request #19060
- Parser now rejects unexpected semicolons in list literals and match patterns that were silently discarding content. Pull request #19063
- Reedline bumped with improvements to edit mode switching and arrow key behavior reporting. Pull request #19077
- `char` command now supports forward slash and backslash characters. Pull request #19082
- Fixed alias head expansion in completion input so custom completers receive the expanded command. Pull request #19085
- Fixed `finally` handlers to run on every exit from nested try blocks and properly unwind break/continue. Pull request #19052

Why it matters
Version 0.116.0 brings substantial improvements to error handling in try-finally blocks, debugging capabilities through DAP support, and fixes several parsing and command behavior issues. Windows users benefit from fixes to interactive prompts and glob matching, while completion and nested record handling work more reliably across platforms.
