 - Implement [](#opt-vim.git.gitsigns.setupOpts) for user-specified setup table
   in gitsigns configuration.
 
+- [](#opt-vim.options.mouse) no longer compares values to an enum of available
+  mouse modes. This means you can provide any string without the module system
+  warning you that it is invalid. Do keep in mind that this value is no longer
+  checked, so you will be responsible for ensuring its validity.
