 - Fixed special cases with `px.sunburst` and `px.treemap` with `path` input ([#2524](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2524))
 - Fixed bug in `hover_data` argument of `px` functions, when the column name is changed with labels and `hover_data` is a dictionary setting up a specific format for the hover data ([#2544](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2544)).
 - Made the Plotly Express `trendline` argument more robust and made it work with datetime `x` values ([#2554](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2554))
+- Plotly Express `range_(x|y)` should not impact the unlinked range of marginal subplots ([#2600](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2600))
