 - `[[optional]]` parameters are now available for routing ([docs](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/advanced-routing#optional-parameters), [#7051](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/7051))
-- `goto` now has `invalidateAll` to (re-)run all `load` functions belonging to the new active page ([docs](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/modules#app-navigation-goto), [#7407](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/pull/7407))
