 * Dude, you can’t just put such breaking changes in a “_MINOR version_” (“_when
   you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner_” – [http://semver.org/](http://semver.org/))
 * Our code:
 * `$imageId = rwmb_meta( $field );`
 * Used to result in an image ID, now it results in an array with all kinds of information.
   We use this in a few places where user can upload 1 image, but now this results
   in an array of image(s).
 * I understand that your update is good otherwise, but you can’t put breaking changes
   in a minor version. You should have moved to v5 with warnings.

 * Hi Richard,
 * Sorry for what you met. I’m not sure when `rwmb_meta` returned only ID for image
   fields as it’s not designed to do so.
 * In case you want to get image IDs only, please just use `get_post_meta`.
 * PS: There is no way on wordpress.org that can send notification to users about
   the changes in the plugin :(.
