I think perhaps this changelog entry could be better suited to the Syntaxes section, what do you think?

Moved to Syntaxes in 29c913f.

- Added support for `hidden_file_extensions` from `.sublime-syntax` files, see #3613 (@Matei02355)
- Add word wrapping mode via `--wrap=word`, see #3597 (@veeceey)
- Implement `--unbuffered` mode for streaming input, allowing partial lines to display immediately (e.g. `tail -f | bat -u`). Closes #3555, see #3583 (@mainnebula)
