 - Fixed bugs with format strings and add new features by switching to Format.jl [#3633](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3633).
 - Fixed an issue where CairoMakie would unnecessarily rasterize polygons [#3605](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3605).
 - Added `PointBased` conversion trait to `scatterlines` recipe [#3603](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3603).
+- Fixed a bug with line/text/scatter resolutions getting disconnected by `empty!()` in GLMakie and re-enabled camera caching. [#3640](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3640)
 - Multiple small fixes for `map_latest`, `WGLMakie` picking and `PlotSpec` [#3637](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3637).
 - Fixed PolarAxis `rticks` being incompatible with rich text. [#3615](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3615)
