If a privacy policy has been set, then a link to it will automatically be shown in the footer.
The element containing the "Proudly powered by WordPress" link was chosen for the new policy link, in order to minimize visual conflicts with custom CSS that was written before the new link existed. Unfortunately, some minor conflicts are expected and unavoidable. Adding this link is required as part of GDPR compliance, and the benefits outweigh the downsides.
To further mitigate the conflicts, a new imprint class was added to the "Proudly powered..." link, in order to facilitate targeting each link invididually with custom styles.
This was accidentally not backported to the `4.9` branch before the beta/RC phase, but there was a consensus that it is safe to do that this late in the release cycle.

Non-wrapping `label`s are more widely supported by assitive technologies. The CSS changes account for the element re-ordering, and tweak the formatting for improved readability.

The last time a new widget was introduced, Vuvuzelas were a thing, Angry Birds started taking over phones, and WordPress stopped shipping with Kubrick. Seven years and 17 releases without new widgets have been enough, time to spice up your sidebar!

Adds information about changes in the current release, links to changlogs from
previous releases, and improves links to use `https`.
Release date for the latest versions will be August 18 even in the event of a
delayed core release. Since all themes are backwards compatible we don't have
a dependency there.

These commits were accidentally re-synced commits from develop.svn.wordpress.org due to a race condition. Thankfully, the history of this repository matters fairly little. It also happened only for trunk.
