Looks good, one small change I would make is to change the last sentence to:

It also introduces changes to how your code is desugared by the compiler, leading to a more optimized code by removing some redundant calls.

+Major user-facing improvement introduced by [SIP-62](https://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/better-fors.html) is ability to start for-comprehension block with aliases:
+
+```scala

This still needs an experiemental import, was it meant to be stabilised?

Suggested change

for {

import scala.language.experimental.betterFors

for {

Right, yes. Nice catch!

Thank you for this catch. For some reason I though it was stable already. I'll mark it as experimental similarly to runtimeChecked

+Until Scala 3.6.0 context bound parameters were always desugared to `implicit` arguments, starting with 3.6.0 these would be mapped to `using` parameters instead.
+This change should not affect the majority of users, however, it can lead to differences in how implicits are resolved.
+Resolution of implicits can slightly differ depending on whether we're requesting them using `implicit` or `using` parameter, or depending on whether it was defined using `implicit` or `given` keywords. The special behaviours were introduced to a smooth migration from Scala 2 to brand new implicits resolution in Scala 3.

+In the [Scala 3.5.0 release notes](https://scala-lang.org/blog/2024/08/22/scala-3.5.0-released.html) we've announced upcoming changes to givens, due to their peculiar problem with prioritization. Currently, the compiler always tries to select the instance with the most specific subtype of the requested type. In the future, it would change to always selecting the instance with the most general subtype that satisfies the context-bound.
+
+Starting from Scala 3.6.0, code whose behaviour can differ between new and old rules (ambiguity on new, passing on old, or vice versa) will emit warnings, but the old rules will still be applied.
+Running the compiler with `-source:3.5` will allow you to temporarily keep using the old rules; with `-source:3.7` or `-source:future` you will get to use the new scheme.

No need to over-hype language features 😁

+
+The first major feature we're going to cover is the [clause interleaving](https://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/clause-interleaving.html).
+With this change to the language, you're able to define multiple type parameter lists or place them after the first arguments list. Clause interleaving would benefit the path-dependent API creators.
+It would eliminate the need for intermediate representations introducing runtime overhead or usage of complicated polymorphic functions.


This last sentence is true, but without an example of what was needed before, is going to be confusing to any reader. Consider removing it.
