    1. Argument order for pubsub.subscribe has changed:
      • Old: pubsub.subscribe(topic, [options], handler, [callback]): Promise
      • New: pubsub.subscribe(topic, handler, [options], [callback]): Promise
    2. The pubsub.unsubscribe method has become async meaning that it now takes a callback or returns a promise:
      • Old: pubsub.unsubscribe(topic, handler): undefined
      • New: pubsub.unsubscribe(topic, handler, [callback]): Promise
    3. Property names on response objects for ping are now lowered:
      • Old: { Success, Time, Text }
      • New: { success, time, text }
    4. In the CLI, jsipfs object data no longer returns a newline after the end of the returned data
