 - Allow Mithril to be loaded in non-browser environments without modification. ([#2633](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2633) [@isiahmeadows](https://github.com/isiahmeadows))
 - Work around a bundler bug that corrupted RegExps [#2647](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/issues/) ([#2655](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2655))
 - Adapt handling of no content (204) responses to match XHR Spec ([#2624](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2641)) [@Evoke-PHP](https://github.com/Evoke-PHP)
+- Add `URLSearchParams` support to `m.request` ([#2695](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2695) [@Coteh](https://github.com/Coteh))
 
 Important note: if you were using any of these undocumented tools, they are no longer available as of this release. This is not considered a breaking change as they were written for internal usage and as of v2 are all 100% unsupported in userland.

 `options.deserialize`     | `any = Function(any)`          | No       | A deserialization method to be applied to the `xhr.response` or normalized `xhr.responseText`. Defaults to the [identity function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function). If `extract` is defined, `deserialize` will be skipped.
 `options.extract`         | `any = Function(xhr, options)`    | No       | A hook to specify how the XMLHttpRequest response should be read. Useful for processing response data, reading headers and cookies. By default this is a function that returns `options.deserialize(parsedResponse)`, throwing an exception when the server response status code indicates an error or when the response is syntactically invalid. If a custom `extract` callback is provided, the `xhr` parameter is the XMLHttpRequest instance used for the request, and `options` is the object that was passed to the `m.request` call. Additionally, `deserialize` will be skipped and the value returned from the extract callback will be left as-is when the promise resolves.
 `options.background`      | `Boolean`                         | No       | If `false`, redraws mounted components upon completion of the request. If `true`, it does not. Defaults to `false`.
