 - The `ConsumerEvents` and `ConsumerDebugEvents` enum has been removed and
   replaced with `ConsumerNotification` which have a discriminating field `type`.
   The status objects provide a more specific API for querying those events.
-- The JsMsg.next() API has been retracted as the simplified consumer `next()`,
