This release has the full commitment to the Biolink Model Toolkit 0.8.12 release, which also defaults the Biolink Model validation to the latest release 3.0.* of the schema.
This doesn't mean that the 2.4.8 and lower Biolink Models won't be substantially validated correctly, but simply that one will expect a few spurious validation errors against such releases. One known spurious error is in the incorrect validation of 'non_canonical' predicates (i.e. canonical will be reported as `non_canonical`...).
