 NEW FEATURES:
 
-* lang/funcs: add a new `type()` function, only available in `terraform console` [GH-28501]
+* lang/funcs: add a new `type()` function, only available in `terraform console` ([#28501](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/28501))
 
 ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-* configs: Terraform now checks the syntax of and normalizes module source addresses (the `source` argument in `module` blocks) during configuration decoding rather than only at module installation time. This is largely just an internal refactoring, but a visible benefit of this change is that the `terraform init` messages about module downloading will now show the canonical module package address Terraform is downloading from, after interpreting the special shorthands for common cases like GitHub URLs. [GH-28854]
-* command/show: The -json output now indicates which state values are sensitive. [GH-28889]
