 If you're migrating from our previous alpha release of v5.3.0, please reviewing the changes listed below.
 
+### CSS variables
+
+- Removed several duplicate and unused root CSS variables.
+
 ### Color modes
 
 - Dark mode colors are now derived from our theme colors (e.g., `$primary`) in Sass, rather than color specific tints or shades (e.g., `$blue-300`). This allows for a more automated dark mode when customizing the default theme colors.
 
 - Added Sass maps for generating theme colors for dark mode text, subtle background, and subtle border.
 
-- [Snippet examples]() are now ready for dark mode with updated markup and reduced custom styles.
+- [Snippet examples]({{< docsref "/examples#snippets" >}}) are now ready for dark mode with updated markup and reduced custom styles.
 
 - Added `color-scheme: dark` to dark mode CSS to change OS level controls like scrollbars
 
+- Form validation `border-color` and text `color` states now respond to dark mode, thanks to new Sass and CSS variables.
+
+- Dropped recently added form control background CSS variables and reassigned the Sass variables to use CSS variables instead. This simplifies the styling across color modes and avoids an issue where form controls in dark mode wouldn't update properly.
+
 - Our `box-shadow`s will once again always stay dark instead of inverting to white when in dark mode.
 
 - Improved HTML and JavaScript for our color mode toggle script. The selector for changing the active SVG has been improved, and the markup made more accessible with ARIA attributes.

 ### Utilities
 
+- Renamed Sass and CSS variables `${color}-text` to `${color}-text-emphasis` to match their associated utilities.
+
 - Added new `.link-body-emphasis` helper alongside our [colored links]({{< docsref "/helpers/colored-links" >}}). This creates a colored link using our color mode responsive emphasis color.
 
 - Added new link utilities for link color opacity, underline offset, underline color, and underline opacity. [Explore the new links utilities.]({{< docsref "/utilities/link" >}})
 
 - CSS variable based `border-width` utilities have been reverted to set their property directly (as was done prior to v5.2.0). This avoids inheritance issues across nested elements, including tables.
 
+- Added new `.border-black` utility to match our `.text-black` and `.bg-black` utilities.
+
+- <span class="badge text-warning-emphasis bg-warning-subtle">Deprecated</span> Deprecated the `.text-muted` utility and `$text-muted` Sass variable. It's been replaced by `.text-body-secondary` and `$body-secondary-color`.

 ### Docs
 
 - Examples are now displayed with the appropriate light or dark color mode as dictated by the setting in our docs. However, they lack an individual color mode picker for the time being.

 - **Global support for light (default) and dark color modes.** Set color mode globally on the `:root` element, on groups of elements and components with a wrapper class, or directly on components, with `data-bs-theme="light|dark"`. Also included is a new `color-mode()` mixin that can output a ruleset with the `data-bs-theme` selector or a media query, depending on your preference.
 
-  <span class="badge text-warning-emphasis bg-warning-subtle">Deprecated</span>  Color modes replace dark variants for components, so  `.btn-close-white`, `.carousel-dark`, `.dropdown-menu-dark`, and `.navbar-dark` are deprecated.

 - **New extended color system.** We've added new theme colors (but not in `$theme-colors`) for a more nuanced, system-wide color palette with new secondary, tertiary, and emphasis colors for `color` and `background-color`. These new colors are available as Sass variables, CSS variables, and utilities.
