Announcement Blog Post

Breaking Changes

The minimum NodeJS version is now 18.17 or higher https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/pull/3959
Import paths were simplified. For example, use cheerio/slim instead of cheerio/lib/slim. https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/pull/3970
The deprecated default Cheerio instance and static methods were removed. https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/pull/3974

Before, it was possible to write code like this:
```
import cheerio, { html } from 'cheerio';

html(cheerio('<test></test>')); // ~ '<test></test>' -- NO LONGER WORKS
```
Make sure to always load documents first:
```
import * as cheerio from 'cheerio';

cheerio.load('<test></test>').html();
```
Node types previously re-exported by Cheerio must now be imported directly from (domhandler)(https://github.com/fb55/domhandler). https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/pull/3969
htmlparser2 options now reside exclusively under the xml key (https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/pull/2916):
```
const $ = cheerio.load('<html>', {
  xml: {
    withStartIndices: true,
  },
});
```
