This looks much better 👌

[lwasser]

Ok, this looks like a better PR, but for all the work we've done and the significant dependency updates, I think this should be a minor, if not major, release after 3 years. @jdalrymple any thoughts on this? I can read through the docs again to understand how we ensure that at least 6.27 is the new version.

[michaelfaith]

One way is to merge a commit with

Release-As: 6.27.0

On the last line and it'll override the autodetection

[lwasser]

Ok, maybe 7.x doesn't make sense here, but at least 6.27 does, given how long it's been since the last release and the significant dependency updates that could warrant breaking changes in a user's environment. I'm not sure, but 6.27 seems reasonable. Even looking at the commit history, it wouldn't follow a typical semantic minor bump.

This looks much better 👌

It does!! Thank you so much for noticing this. I need to look at which commit types would trigger a minor vs. major release. What is unclear here is that it's been ~3 years since a release was made! And we made some significant updates to dependencies. But it's not breaking for users because the front-end API hasn't changed, only the backend.
