+This patch release re-establishes the state of `v7.0.0` release and upgrades
+the `BN.js` re-export version back to `v5` since quick patches for both
+the `v5` ([v5.1.2](https://github.com/indutny/bn.js/releases/tag/v5.1.2)) and
+the `v4` branch ([v4.11.9](https://github.com/indutny/bn.js/releases/tag/v4.11.9))
+have been released to fix interoperability issues between the `BN.js` versions.
+
+This now makes it possible to move to the latest `BN.js` `v5` version and profit
+from future upgrades and patches.
+
+An upgrade is highly recommended, the `v7.0.1` release will be marked as
+deprecated along this release.
