BREAKING CHANGES:

• access to prototype properties is forbidden completely by default,specific properties or methods can be allowed via runtime-options.See#1633 for details.If you are using Handlebars as documented, you should not be accessing prototypeproperties from your template anyway, so the changes should not be a problemfor you. Only the use of undocumented features can break your build.

  That is why we only bump the minor version despite mentioning breaking changes.
