6.0.0

Sentry Self-hosted Compatibility

• Starting with version 6.0.0 of the sentry package, Sentry's self hosted version >= v21.9.0 is required or you have to manually disable sending client reports via the sendClientReports option. This only applies to self-hosted Sentry. If you are using sentry.io, no action is needed.
