Comment (by gitlost):

 Thanks @And_or and @lukefiretoss - good to hear!

 There's a 1.0.1 version available [https://github.com/gitlost/ye-olde-
 text-widget/blob/master/dist/ye-olde-text-widget-1.0.1.zip?raw=true zip]
 which makes sure that if after widget update the "Automatically add
 paragraphs" option is set then `wpautop` is applied, so it's more fully BC
 (cogged off @fullworks' plugin - thanks!).

 @FolioVision - thanks - though re breaking sites it should I think be re-
 stated that (as mentioned above by various people) it's only a breaking
 change if the widget instance is actually updated in the admin.
