+v0.8.2
+- ![][badge-💥breaking] If saveat is a number, then it does not automatically expand to `tspan[1]:saveat:tspan[2]`. To fix this, update
+`saveat`, which is a keyword in the integrator, to be an array. For example, if `saveat` is a scalar, replace it with
+`[tspan[1]:saveat:tspan[2]..., tspan[2]]` to achieve the same behavior as before.
