 ### Features
 
+- lang: Implement `Arbitrary` trait for the anchor-generated instruction module when the program is compiled with the arbitrary feature (requires the arbitrary crate) ([2518](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2518)).
 - idl: Allow overriding the idl build toolchain with the `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` environment variable ([#2941](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2941]))
 - avm: Support customizing the installation location using `AVM_HOME` environment variable ([#2917](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2917))
 - idl, ts: Add accounts resolution for associated token accounts ([#2927](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2927))
