This is a hotfix release for the issue with `proxy` option in `WebClient`, `WebhookClient` constructors.
If your app is affected by this issue, please consider taking either of the following actions:
1) **Upgrade to this version (2.9.1)** (no code change required in this case)
2) If there is a reason to avoid upgrading at this moment, **switch to the standard `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variable and stop using the `proxy` option**. The env variable should work regardless of the `slackclient` versions.
We're sorry for causing trouble and inconvenience.
Refer to [v2.9.1 milestone](https://github.com/slackapi/python-slackclient/milestone/18?closed=1) to know the complete list of the issues resolved by this release.
