 ### Breaking changes
 
 - `getEmbeddedModuleSchema` now uses the module version to determine in which custom wasm sections to look for the schema.
-  It also no longer is `async` because there isn't any need for it to be so.
 - `ConcordiumGRPCClient.getEmbeddedSchema` now delegates to `getEmbeddedModuleSchema` instead of `wasmToSchema`
   (which was removed as it was just a less capable version of `getEmbeddedModuleSchema`).
   This means that it returns the complete `RawModuleSchema` instead of only the schema bytes.
