-### Breaking changes
-
-  * The string argument to `--cmdv4` or `--cmdv6` is now executed as-is by the
-    system's shell, matching the behavior of the deprecated `--cmd` option.
-    This makes it possible to pass command-line arguments, which reduces the
-    need for a custom wrapper script.  Beware that the string is also subject to
-    the shell's command substitution, quote handling, variable expansion, field
-    splitting, etc., so you may need to add extra escaping to ensure that any
-    special characters are preserved literally.
