We're doing a major version bump because this is a significant change to our underlying data mechanisms, which will bring noticeable performance improvements and lower your Mongo usage. This version does not require any changes to your integration, but you might need to alter the setup of your hosting infrastructure to make the most of the improvements. All APIs and user interfaces remain unchanged.
You can read more about this change and suggested hosting updates in our documentation
