Incompatible cc_cookie between minor versions

[stefanides]

Hi,

I am using the library to get cookie consents across multiple domains. One is Wordpress, where the version is set manually to v 2.8.0. Another one is managed by npm, which has got recently updated to v. 2.8.5. This introduces the new cc_cookie format (see PR 257), which is not compatible with previous versions - user is then required to confirm cookies on each site separately even the request contains cc_cookie with already agreed values from the other site.

Could this change be backward compatible within minor versions or at least marked as breaking in some release notes?

Hi @stefanides,

this was marked as a breaking change in v2.8.1. If I had created a dedicated "Breaking Changes" section it would have probably been much more visible. Also check out https://github.com/orestbida/cookieconsent/issues/349#issuecomment-1195535562.
