- **Breaking change**: IDs change. Algorithm has been fine-tuned for better performance [[Issue 11](https://github.com/sqids/sqids-spec/issues/11)]
- `alphabet` cannot contain multibyte characters
- `min_length` upper limit has increased from alphabet length to `255`
- Max blocklist re-encoding attempts has been capped at the length of the alphabet - 1
- Minimum alphabet length has changed from 5 to 3
- `min_value()` and `max_value()` functions have been removed
- Max integer encoding value is `sys.maxsize`
