That post doesn’t say much about `coa`, besides “new versions started appearing and builds started failing”. The bug report linked from GitHub advisory does a good job of describing the issue, though: https://github.com/veged/coa/issues/99

That's fair, but it describes the change in great detail, and makes it easier to figure out that the primary issue was only on Windows systems.
