+## [3.0.0-beta06] - 2023-05-22
+
+### Changed
+- `IParentAwareComponent` and `ParentAwareComponentBase` now record the parent as type `object`
+- `ParentAwareComponentBase<T>` no longer has type restrictions on type T; it can now accept any type as the parent.
+    - This makes integration into other component systems more feasible since `IObjectWithComponents` is no longer required
