MAJOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

• engine: Batch#type has been deprecated. It will always return 'default' value and reading it will log a warning in the console. Use Batch#isUndoable, Batch#isLocal, Batch#isUndo and Batch#isTyping instead.
• revision-history: Multiple changes to Revision properties has been introduced that impact revision history integrations. Introduced #fromRevision and #toRevision properties. Renamed #data to #diffData. The #isLocked property has been removed. Those changes have an impact on what data should be saved in your database and how the revision history plugin should be integrated. Please refer to the migration guide and the documentation to learn more about these changes.
• revision-history: The RevisionHistoryAdapter interface has changed. Also, RevisionTracker no longer uses RevisionHistoryAdapter#getRevisions() to fetch revisions during editor initialization. You should add revisions data in your integration plugin. Please refer to the migration guide and the documentation to learn how to update your revision history integration.
• revision-history: RevisionTracker#updateRevision() has been removed while #update() and #saveRevision() have been introduced instead. This, among others, may have an impact on your autosave integration. Please refer to the migration guide and the documentation to learn how to update your revision history integration.
• typing: Input#isInput() has been removed. Use Batch#isTyping instead.
• Upgraded the minimal versions of Node.js to 14.0.0 due to the end of LTS.

MINOR BREAKING CHANGES ℹ️

• engine: The string value for the Batch type and Model#enqueueChange() is now deprecated. Using a string value will log a warning in the console. Use an object value instead. For more information, refer to the API documentation.
• revision-history: RevisionTracker#isLocked has been removed.
• revision-history: The flow for creating and updating a revision has changed. See documentation to learn what it looks like after the changes.
• The previously named #_getTemplate() methods in CommentThreadView, CommentView, and SuggestionThreadView were renamed to #getTemplate(). These methods are used in annotations customization, when changing the default templates.
