      Let's mention in the What's new that the interfaces in com.mongodb.client.model.search API are now marked as `@Sealed` instead of being `@Evolving`.

      This change would have been breaking if the interfaces were not also marked with `@Beta`, but they are.

      It makes sense for interfaces like MongoClient to be @Evolving, while for interfaces like SearchOptions @Sealed is a more appropriate annotation. Note also that replacing @Sealed with @Evolving is a backward-compatible change, while the opposite is not. See the doc changes in the linked PR for more details.
