Breaking changes: • Resumable sessions now use JSON controller state; legacy pickle sessions are no longer loaded directly and will produce a warning on upgrade. • Optional DB dependencies (MySQL, PostgreSQL) are now explicit extras (`dirsearch[mysql]`, `dirsearch[postgresql]`, `dirsearch[db]`) rather than mandatory runtime dependencies — existing installs that relied on auto-installed DB drivers must reinstall with the appropriate extra. • The old dependency installer path was removed.
