I guess the title of this pull request could be renamed to 4.0.0 Release since ab5d7a4415ab145d79b9fd776443217c32127718 is going to be merged?

[nblumhardt]

Back to draft because the release notes need updating.

[0xced]

After merging #366 there will be 3 mentions of Since version 4.0.0 in the README. That should probably be updated to Since version 7.0.0 to reflect the recent versioning change.

Ready to go! 😎
