The peer dependency is for 2.x. I haven’t verified this plugin’s compatibility with 3.x.

Simple testing seems to suggest there shouldn't be any breakage. I updated with my own fork to 3.x and it seems to still do the replacements for my scenarios.

Are there any plans for changing this peer dependency to 3.x? 🤔
