 * Support replacing identity expressions with `\.self` in `prefer_key_path` rule from Swift 6 on.  
   [SimplyDanny](https://github.com/SimplyDanny)
 
+* Add new `opaque_over_existential` opt-in rule that triggers when the existential `any` type of a
+  function parameter can be replaced with an opaque `some` type.  
+  [SimplyDanny](https://github.com/SimplyDanny)

 * Support linting only provided file paths with command plugins.
