Key Changes and Impacts

The changes introduced in the v2.0.8 release (compared to v2.0.7) are extensive and cover multiple areas of the repository.

🗝️ Key Impact Details

1. Error Handling Improvements

  • Refactoring Exception Handling:
    • Changed exception variable naming from generic (e.g., err, impErr) to _cause for better traceability.
    • Improved raise from usage to maintain the original exception context.
    • Enhanced clarity and maintainability of error handling across the codebase.

Impact:

  • These changes improve debugging and maintainability by providing more informative and granular error contexts. They also align with best practices for exception handling.

2. New Features
