 All form controls support validation, but not all validation props are available for every component. Refer to a component's documentation to see which validation props it supports.
 
-Note that validity is not checked until the user interacts with the control or its containing form is submitted. This prevents required controls from being rendered as invalid right away, which can result in a poor user experience. If you need this behavior, set the `invalid` attribute initially.
-
 !> Client-side validation can be used to improve the UX of forms, but it is not a replacement for server-side validation. **You should always validate and sanitize user input on the server!**

+- 🚨 BREAKING: all `invalid` props on form controls now reflect validity before interaction [#455](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/455)
 - Allow `null` to be passed to disable animations in `setDefaultAnimation()` and `setAnimation()`
+- Fixed a bug in `sl-checkbox` where `invalid` did not update properly
 - Fixed a bug in `sl-dropdown` where a `keydown` listener wasn't cleaned up properly
 - Fixed a bug in `sl-select` where `sl-blur` was emitted prematurely [#456](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/456)
 - Fixed a bug in `sl-select` where no selection with `multiple` resulted in an incorrect value [#457](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/457)
 - Fixed a bug in `sl-select` where `sl-change` was emitted immediately after connecting to the DOM [#458](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/issues/458)
 - Fixed a bug in `sl-select` where non-printable keys would cause the menu to open
+- Fixed a bug in `sl-select` where `invalid` was not always updated properly
 - Reworked the `@watch` decorator to use `update` instead of `updated` resulting in better performance and flexibility
