> • Go Back/Go Forward navigation within text files now works like in Web browsers and other editors. As you edit, browse, and navigate, Xcode keeps a trail of interesting recent locations in each file, and Go Back now regresses through the locations rather than just by file, for the ◀ ▶ controls, the Go Back/Go Forward menu items, or their keyboard equivalents. To navigate by file, hold down the Shift or Option keys.
I looked in the menus and didn't see any variations, but I should've known to check the release notes.
You guys must be driven nuts be all the peeps not reading the release notes. :-)
Anyway... thanks. I'll now learn to start using shift.

That'll be hard. I just fiddled with it for a long time, and the behavior is so inconsistent that I can't even predictably make a video showing some of the weird behaviors. Every time I try to duplicate it when recording, it doesn't happen again.
I did manage to catch one bit of weirdness. I made sure all of the files were closed from the editor. I opened up one file and tried to fiddle with it, but it wasn't working as I expected so I tried switching to a different file and doing the same things (which honestly seems to make a difference somehow). So the file that gets opened as soon as I click on it, is freshly opened -- it's not already "in the background" in the editor.

All I do is click in three places, hit Go Back once, and then I can't find the insertion point (that's what the long pause is for). Go Forward, and I can see it. Go Back, can't find it. So I start typing question marks to see the insertion point, and it's somewhere waaaaaay off far away from where I clicked and where the view was scrolled to.
All kinds of wacky things like this happen, but I can't replicate them on demand. Which is frustrating.
