 _Changes marked with a :warning: contain potential breaking changes depending on your use of the package._
 
+## v9.0.0-rc.96 (October 7, 2021)
+
+### :warning: Potential Breaking Changes
+
+* Custom displays's handler function was renamed to `component` to be consistent with the other app extensions
+* If you're upgrading from 95, and had some troubles with migrating due to "group" on directus_fields (https://github.com/directus/directus/issues/8369) on that version, please remove row `20210805A` from `directus_migrations` and re-run the migrations.
