 - Fixed bug in `hover_data` argument of `px` functions, when the column name is changed with labels and `hover_data` is a dictionary setting up a specific format for the hover data ([#2544](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2544)).
 - Made the Plotly Express `trendline` argument more robust and made it work with datetime `x` values ([#2554](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2554))
 - Plotly Express wide mode now accepts mixed integer and float columns ([#2598](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2598))
+- Plotly Express `range_(x|y)` should not impact the unlinked range of marginal subplots ([#2600](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/pull/2600))
