- **removed** — Require Node.js 20 or later
- **changed** — onFailedAttempt and shouldRetry now receive a context object instead of a decorated error, with the error accessible as context.error
- **removed** — Remove the forever option, use {retries: Infinity} instead for infinite retries
- **changed** — Rewrite the package to not depend on the retry package
- **added** — Add makeRetriable method

###### Breaking

- Require Node.js 20  3bdb53a
- `onFailedAttempt` and `shouldRetry` now receive a `context` object instead of a decorated `error`  bff36bb
	- You must now must access the error as `object.error` instead of `object`.
	- The use of `.attemptNumber` and `.retriesLeft` did not change.
- Remove the `forever` option  (#79)  6a89827
  - Many use-cases can use `{retries: Infinity}` instead for infinite retries.

###### Improvements

- Rewrite the package to not depend on the `retry` package (#79)  6a89827
  - This is a full rewrite, so test carefully.
- Add [`makeRetriable`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/p-retry#makeretriablefunction-options) method  1a81c1e
