## New Features
- We’ve introduced a new `--no-engine` flag which will prevent a Query Engine file from being included in the generated Prisma Client. This flag will also help ensure the bundle size of your application remains small by excluding the Query Engine files from the generated Prisma Client.
- Add documentation to "PrismaClient is unable to be run in the browser"
- Change how Data Proxy Client deals with unsupported preview features

## Improvements
- Prisma Client will now automatically determine how it should connect to the database depending on the protocol in the connection string. If the connection string starts with `prisma://`, Prisma Client will try to connect to your database using Prisma Accelerate or Prisma Data Proxy.
- Prisma Studio now works with Prisma Data Proxy and Prisma Accelerate.

## Upgrade Command
```bash
npm install --save-dev --save-exact prisma@5.2.0
