* The overload with a fallback/secondary queue parameter of the
[code]#submit()# member function of [code]#sycl::queue# was deprecated.

* Added shorthand aliases for address spaces to reduce verbosity, enabling
(for example) [code]#sycl::access::address_space::global_space# to be
replaced with [code]#sycl::addrspace_global#.

Since this is no longer constrained by namespace hierarchy, why not following English like
constexpr inline addrspace generic_addrspace = addrspace::generic_space;
?

@AerialMantis' suggestion was that we should always use enum_value, because that's the precedent elsewhere (e.g., memory_order_relaxed, memory_scope_device).

But at the end I would prefer

constexpr inline addrspace global_as = addrspace::global_space;
constexpr inline addrspace local_as = addrspace::local_space;
constexpr inline addrspace private_as = addrspace::private_space;
constexpr inline addrspace generic_as = addrspace::generic_space;

to have shorthand alias to be short.
