 - Add new `package:dart_mcp/stdio.dart` library with a `stdioChannel` utility
   for creating a stream channel that separates messages by newlines.
 - Added more examples.
+- Deprecated the `WithElicitationHandler` interface - the method this required
+  is now defined directly on the `ElicitationSupport` mixin which matches the
+  pattern used by other mixins in this package.
 - Change the `schema` parameter for elicitation requests to an `ObjectSchema` to
   match the spec.
 - Deprecate the `Elicitations` server capability, this doesn't exist in the spec.
