v2.26.1

Summary

This patch release addresses a regression with the Batch Processing utility introduced in v2.26.0 that caused a bundling error due to an internal dependency not being declared in the package.json.

This bug affects only those who are using Batch Processing without other Powertools for AWS utilities and who have already upgraded to v2.26.0 which was released on 12/09/2025.

We recommend updating to the latest version to avoid the issue.

⭐ Congratulations to @Grmiade for identifying this issue and fixing it with their first PR merged in the project 🎉
