* `write` on an `IOBuffer` now returns a signed integer in order to be
consistent with other buffers ([#20609]).

* `@async`, `@spawn`, `@spawnat`, `@fetch` and `@fetchfrom` no longer implicitly
localize variables. Previously, the expression would be wrapped in an implicit
`let` block ([#19594]).

* Closures shipped for remote execution via `@spawn` or `remotecall` now automatically
serialize globals defined under Main. For details, please refer to the paragraph
on "Global variables" under the "Parallel computing" chapter in the manual ([#19594]).
