BreakingUpgrade verdict

7 breaking changes and a platform requirement change.

In plain terms
  • If you relied on the crossbeam feature, you must enable the renamed feature explicitly.
  • Serialized events now use a format that is easier to consume in environments like JavaScript. Enable the serialization-compat-6 feature to keep the old format.
  • You no longer need to add root paths to the cache manually; call watch on the debouncer instead.
  • Replaces the deprecated poll_interval signature in v7.0.
