• another try to fix race condition by @roblaszczak in https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill/pull/540
• deprecate cqrs.ProtobufMarshaler (with github.com/gogo/protobuf) in favour of cqrs.ProtoMarshaler by @roblaszczak in https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/watermill/pull/526

cqrs.ProtobufMarshaler from this release is backward and forward compatible with cqrs.ProtoMarshaler. cqrs.ProtobufMarshaler from Watermill versions until v1.4.3 are not forward compatible with cqrs.ProtoMarshaler. Suggested migration steps:

1. Update Watermill to v1.4.4 or newer, so all publishers and subscribers will be forward and backward compatible.
2. Change all usages of cqrs.ProtobufMarshaler to cqrs.ProtoMarshaler.
