-### Major Changes in 4.0.0
-
-- 🛑 short-uuid will now throw an error when provided an alphabet with duplicate characters. Duplicate characters will cause translation errors.
-- ℹ️ 4.0.0 is written in modern ECMAScript. It uses features through ES9/ES2018.
-- ℹ️ By default, short-uuid will pad shortened IDs to a consistent length.
-  - Padding does not affect translation, and the values are compatible with previous releases.
-  - Padding can be disabled with the option `consistentLength: false` when instantiating a translator. This is consistent with previous versions.
-- ℹ️ 4.x does not include a pre-built version for browsers. If needed, 3.1.1 is compatible, but does not pad to a consistent length.
