---

🚨 Breaking Changes

API Method Changes

• load_secure: Now synchronous by default (previously async)
• New Async Methods: Added load_secure_async and load_dotenv_secure_async for async use cases

Migration Path

# Before (v2.0.0-beta.1)
await loader.load_secure()

# After (v2.0.0-beta.2) - Choose your approach:
# Option 1: Synchronous (recommended for most cases)
loader.load_secure()

# Option 2: Asynchronous (for async contexts)
await loader.load_secure_async()

---

🏗️ Technical Improvements

# After - Choose one:
loader.load_secure()              # Recommended: Sync
await loader.load_secure_async()  # Alternative: Async

If You Used Sync Loading

# Before and After - No changes needed!
