224	* Disable the default WordPress shortlink <link> tag in <head>. Ignored by search engines and has minimal practical use case. Usually, a dedicated shortlink plugin or service is preferred that allows for nice names in the short links and tracking of clicks when sharing the link on social media.

226	* Disable emoji support for pages, posts and custom post types on the admin and frontend. The support is primarily useful for older browsers that do not have native support for it. Most modern browsers across different OSes and devices now have native support for it.

382

662	* [IMPROVED] Admin Interface >> Admin Menu Organizer: when a hidden menu item is selected, i.e. the admin page for it is being viewed, the menu item will now remain visible along with it's sub-menu items. This makes for a better UX overall, reducing back and forth clicks of the "Show All" toggle. Props to [](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomhung/@tomhung](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomhung/](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomhung/) and [](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvaer/@dvaer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvaer/](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvaer/) for [](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-show-all-menu-stay-open-when-on-closed-menu-item/suggesting this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-show-all-menu-stay-open-when-on-closed-menu-item/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-show-all-menu-stay-open-when-on-closed-menu-item/).
