What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **changed** — The publish method now always returns a promise, including in error cases where it previously did not
- **changed** — Minimum Node version for tests is now 14, though the library should still work on Node 12

Potentially breaking change: the `publish` method now always returns a promise.  Previously, it did not return a promise in some error cases.  This should not impact most users.

Updates to the development dependencies required a minimum Node version of 14 for the tests.  The library should still work on Node 12, but tests are no longer run in CI for version 12.  A future major version of the library may drop support for version 12 altogether.
