Breaking-change evidence from the source
⚠️ This only purpose of this release is to revert a bug fix we made in [v1.3.3](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/releases/tag/v1.3.3). Indeed #4038 fixes a bug preventing the use `\` character at the end of a value in the `filter` search parameter. Unfortunately, this bug fix introduced a breaking in the `filter` usage: forcing to escape each `\`. We shouldn't have released this kind of bug fix in a patch version.
