 ## master
-- Added the `stephist` plotting function [#2408](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/pull/2408).
 
+- Added the `stephist` plotting function [#2408](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/pull/2408).
 - Fixed an issue where `poly` plots with `Vector{<: MultiPolygon}` inputs with per-polygon color were mistakenly rendered as meshes using CairoMakie. [#2590](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pulls/2478)
 - Fixed a small typo which caused an error in the `Stepper` constructor. [#2600](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pulls/2478)
+- Fixed rectangle zoom for nonlinear axes [#2674](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/2674)
