Thanks for putting this together, @benironside! I'll likely take one more pass to make sure all of my features are doc'd. In the meantime, here's my first round of edits.

* Updates the exceptions flyout's `match_any` operator to accept duplicate values that differ in case. Previously, values of `foo` and `FOO` were incorrectly considered duplicates ({pull}167208[#167208]).
* Enables the Elastic AI Assistant to answer questions about Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) by allowing it to query, via ELSER, an ES|QL knowledge base. Refer to <<security-assistant, Elastic AI Assistant>> to enable the knowledge base ({pull}167097[#167097]).
* Enables ES|QL in Timeline (technical preview) ({pull}166764[#166764]).
* Adds the new ES|QL rule type (technical preview) ({pull}165450[#165450]).

Hey @benironside, before we merge these release notes, could we please also mention the following tickets as known issues in 8.11.0? Fixes for these three will be released in 8.11.1:

@nastasha-solomon re: workarounds for the issues @banderror listed, there's unfortunately no workarounds for the coverage overview bugs as they're all display issues in the code itself. The incorrect sub-technique bug could technically be worked around by applying the changes to the threat field manually via the API instead of the Rule create/edit UI (definitely a little clunky for just the two instances where it occurs). All fixes are targeted for 8.11.1 as Georgii mentioned.

* Upgrades {elastic-defend} to capture a new Windows event type: ETW Threat Intelligence (ETW-TI). Renames the Windows events policy `Credential access` category to `API` in the UI (but not in the `.yaml`, maintaining backwards compatibility). Adds two new advanced options: `windows.advanced.events.api_disabled` and
`windows.advanced.events.api_verbose` ({pull}167549[#167549]).
* Adds the `Same family` category and tab to the Data Quality dashboard. Fields with mappings in the same family have the same search behavior as the type specified by ECS, but may have different space usage or performance characteristics ({pull}167480[#167480]).
* Updates the exceptions flyout's `match_any` operator to accept duplicate values that differ in case ({pull}167208[#167208]).

Thank you for the release notes! Do we add breaking changes to release notes? If so, we have to add the breaking change for investigation_fields in.
