### 3.0.0-alpha.1

Based on https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1313#issuecomment-2901346950 we can just release `2.0.0-rc.4` as `3.0.0-alpha.1` to unblock the situation

**Backlog**
- [x] https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1320
- [x] Release on npm (don't tag as latest) (@UlisesGascon )
- [x] deprecate on npm `2.0.0-*` versions (keep 2.0.0 as latest) (@UlisesGascon )

### 3.0.0

Releasing a new version and dropping support for older Node.js is now necessary for this module. Here's the list of remaining tasks to launch v3 (prev: v2.0.0-rc*), given that @LinusU has already done most of the work (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/399):

- [ ] Cherry pick relevant stuff from v2 line like CI pipelines, docs...
- [ ] Move the package from ESM to CommonJS (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1304).
- [ ] Verify AsyncLocalStorage (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1111)
- [ ] Align Node.js support with Express v5 (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1303)
- [ ] Update dependencies:
- [ ] @fastify/busboy
- [ ] append-field v2 -> v1 (For CommonJS support)

This is a draft of what I’ve seen is missing to release v3. @LinusU, do you have anything else pending?
