+- Updated `EuiFlyoutMenu`:
+  - Added `leadingActions` and `trailingActions` props, which accept the new `EuiFlyoutMenuAction` type supporting `toolTipContent` and `toolTipProps`
+  - Added `leadingActions` support alongside pagination controls
+  - Changed the history trigger icon to `clockCounter` and added a "Recently visited" tooltip
+  - Added control-group dividers between built-in controls (pagination, or back/history) and `leadingActions`, and between `trailingActions` and the close button
+  - Added `previousIconType` and `nextIconType` to `pagination`, so consumers can swap the default up/down chevrons for e.g. left/right chevrons when paging through horizontally-oriented content
+  - Added `onFirst`, `onLast`, `firstIconType`, and `lastIconType` to `pagination`, which render optional buttons for jumping to the beginning and end of the list. Passing either handler also switches the default Prev/Next icons from up/down to left/right chevrons
+  - Changed the menu bar dividers to span the full height of the menu bar in high contrast mode, instead of the shortened line used by default
+
+**Bug fixes**
+
+- Fixed `EuiFlyoutMenu` rendering a history popover that duplicated the back button; the popover now only appears when `historyItems` has more than one entry, so managed flyouts with only one previous session show just the back button
+- Fixed vertical alignment of `EuiFlyoutMenu` action buttons, which were a size larger than the other menu bar controls and overflowed the menu's bottom border. All menu bar controls, including the close button, now share a center line
+- Fixed `EuiFlyoutMenu` pagination controls disappearing when `pagination.total` is `1`; the controls now render (as "1 of 1" with both Prev/Next disabled) for any `total` of at least `1`
+
+**Deprecations**
+
+- Deprecated `customActions` in `EuiFlyoutMenu`; use `trailingActions` instead
