### Added
* Allow the MPL-2.0 and OpenSSL licenses in dependencies of wasmtime.
[#6136](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6136)
* Add a bounds-checking optimization for dynamic memories and guard pages.
[#6031](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6031)
* Add support for generating perf maps for simple perf profiling. Additionally,
the `--jitdump` and `--vtune` flags have been replaced with a single
`--profile` flags that accepts `perfmap`, `jitdump`, and `vtune` arguments.
[#6030](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6030)
* Validate faulting addresses are valid to fault on. As a mitigation to CVEs
like `GHSA-ff4p-7xrq-q5r8`, check that the address involved in a fault is one
that could be contained in a `Store`, or print a scary message and abort
immediately.
[#6028](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6028)
* Add the `--default-values-unknown-imports` option to define unknown function
imports as functions that return the default value for their result type.
[#6010](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6010)
* Add `Clone` for `component::InstancePre`.
[#5996](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/5996)
* Add `--dynamic-memory-reserved-for-growth` cli flag.
[#5980](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/5980)
* Introduce the `wasmtime-explorer` crate for investigating the compilation of
wasm modules. This functionality is also exposed via the `wasmtime explore`
command.
[#5975](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5975)
* Added support for the Relaxed SIMD proposal.
[#5892](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5892)
* Cranelift gained many new machine-independent optimizations.

[#6095](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6095)
[#6130](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6130)
### Changed
* Derive `Copy` on `wasmtime::ValType`.
[#6138](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6138)
* Make `StoreContextMut` accessible in the epoch deadline callback.
[#6075](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6075)
* Take SIGFPE signals for divide traps on `x86_64`.
[#6026](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6026)
* Use more specialized AVX instructions in the `x86_64` backend.
