 ## [4.9.0] - unreleased
 
+### Added
+
+- `px.NO_COLOR` constant to override wide-form color assignment in Plotly Express ([#2614](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2614))
+- `facet_row_spacing` and `facet_col_spacing` added to Plotly Express cartesian 2d functions ([#2614](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2614))
+
+### Fixed
+
+- trendline traces are now of type `scattergl` when `render_mode="webgl"` in Plotly Express ([#2614](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2614))
+
 ### Updated
 
 - Added all cartesian-2d Plotly Express functions, plus `imshow` to Pandas backend with `kind` option
 - `plotly.express.imshow` now uses data frame index and columns names and values to populate axis parameters by default ([#2539](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2539))

+Since subplot figure titles are [annotations](https://plotly.com/python/text-and-annotations/#simple-annotation), you can use the `for_each_annotation` function to customize them, for example to remove the equal-sign (`=`).

+### Controlling Facet Spacing
+
+The `facet_row_spacing` and `facet_col_spacing` arguments can be used to control the spacing between rows and columns. These values are specified in fractions of the plotting area in paper coordinates and not in pixels, so they will grow or shrink with the `width` and `height` of the figure. 
+
+The defaults work well with 1-4 rows or columns at the default figure size with the default font size, but need to be reduced to around 0.01 for very large figures or figures with many rows or columns. Conversely, if activating tick labels on all facets, the spacing will need to be increased.
+
 ```python
+import plotly.express as px
 
+df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent == 'Africa'")
+
+fig = px.line(df, x="year", y="lifeExp", facet_col="country", facet_col_wrap=7,
+              facet_row_spacing=0.04, # default is 0.07 when facet_col_wrap is used
+              facet_col_spacing=0.04, # default is 0.03
