These are features that weren't already mentioned under "highlights" above.

- A new "DATASETMOVED" notification type was added for when datasets are moved from one collection (dataverse) to another. This requires the :SendNotificationOnDatasetMove setting to be enabled. See #11670 and #11805.
- Performance has been improved for the Solr search index. Changes in v6.9 that significantly improved re-indexing performance and lowered memory use (in situations such as when a user's role on the root collection were changed) also slowed reindexing of individual datasets ater editing and publication. This release restores/improves the individual dataset reindexing performance while retaining the benefits of the earlier update. This release also avoids creating unused Solr entries for files in drafts of new versions of published datasets (decreasing the Solr database size and thereby improving performance). See #12082, #12093, and #12094.

Maybe it's recency bias, but do we want to highlight guestbook for file download api. It seems like people have been wanting/waiting for that for a long time?

It's such a pain to constantly renumber the steps. This way is much cleaner and nicer.
