-This release fixes errors in CRAN checks.
-
-Additionally, in the process of stabilizing the API/user interface for packages from the 'easystats' project, some argument names were renamed and old names have been deprecated. This will not break downstream dependent packages, however, reverse-dependency checks will raise warnings. We have already patched all affected downstream packages and will submit them to CRAN in the next few days, after the release of 'performance'. Once this release-cycle is complete, all warnings due to deprecated argument names should be resolved.

+This is a patch release that fixes failing CRAN checks for Mac OS old-rel.
