 ([PR #19724](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19724))
 * Emit debug points at a stack-empty position ([PR #19877](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19877))
 * Fix spurious XmlDoc warnings (unknown parameter / no documentation for parameter) under `--warnon:3390` when a get/set property documents the full parameter set across both accessors. ([Issue #13684](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/13684), [PR #19884](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19884))
+* Fix Go-to-Definition for provided constructors that lack `TypeProviderDefinitionLocationAttribute`. Navigation now falls back to the declaring type instead of silently failing. ([Issue #5538](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/5538), [PR #19917](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19917))
