Hi @ramsey, looks like there is a python issue on the docs build step. Could you review it? thanks!

Interface changes will require a major version bump.

@rogervila Thanks for the PR. Unfortunately, I'm unemployed without any income, and I'm spending every waking minute on job searching, so I'll be unable to give this much attention until I've sorted out my financial situation. Thank you for your understanding. 🙂

Don't worry, first things first 🙂

Can you provide some more details on when a user might use fromStrictString() instead of fromString()? I've read #531, but it sounds like an application-specific or domain-specific problem, rather than a library problem, since you want your application to be more strict than the library when creating UUIDs from strings.

Another problem is the introduction of a new interface method. This breaks BC and would need to wait until a later major version of this library.
