Description

Release 2.9.1 introduced a breaking change, violating Semantic Versioning (SemVer). According to SemVer, patch releases should only include backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Tools like Renovate and Dependabot automate the process of updating dependencies in a project. They rely heavily on Semantic Versioning (SemVer) to determine which updates are safe to apply automatically and which ones require manual intervention. When a library or package violates SemVer by introducing breaking changes in a patch release, it can have significant implications for these tools and the projects that use them.

Please do a proper major release if you make breaking changes.
