 User-visible changes in `ses`:
 
+# Next release
+
+- Adds `ArrayBuffer.p.immutable` and `ArrayBuffer.p.transferToImmutable` as a shim for a future proposal. It makes an ArrayBuffer-like object whose contents cannot be mutated. However, due to limitations of the shim
+  - Unlike `ArrayBuffer` and `SharedArrayBuffer` this shim's ArrayBuffer-like object cannot be transfered or cloned between JS threads.
+  - Unlike `ArrayBuffer` and `SharedArrayBuffer`, this shim's ArrayBuffer-like object cannot be used as the backing store of TypeArrays or DataViews.
+  - The shim depends on the platform providing either `structuredClone` or `Array.prototype.transfer`. Node <= 16 provides neither, causing the shim to fail to initialize, and therefore SES to fail to initialize on such platforms.
+  - Even after the upcoming `transferToImmutable` proposal is implemented by the platform, the current code will still replace it with the shim implementation, in accord with shim best practices. See https://github.com/endojs/endo/pull/2311#discussion_r1632607527 . It will require a later manual step to delete the shim, after manual analysis of the compat implications.

 - Adds `importNowHook` to the `Compartment` options. The compartment will invoke the hook whenever it encounters a missing dependency while running `compartmentInstance.importNow(specifier)`, which cannot use an asynchronous `importHook`.
