 * (GR-49655) Experimental support for parts of the [Foreign Function & Memory API](https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/docs/reference-manual/native-image/ForeignInterface.md) (part of "Project Panama", [JEP 454](https://openjdk.org/jeps/454)) on AMD64. Must be enabled with `-H:+ForeignAPISupport` (requiring `-H:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions`).
 * (GR-46407) Correctly rethrow build-time linkage errors at run-time for registered reflection queries.
+* (GR-51002) Improve intrinsification of method handles. This especially improves the performance of `equals` and `hashCode` methods for records, which use method handles that are now intrinsified.
