 - Updated the [`busboy`](https://npm.im/busboy) dependency to v1, fixing [#311](https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-upload/issues/311).
   - This important update addresses the vulnerability [CVE-2022-24434](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24434) ([GHSA-wm7h-9275-46v2](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-wm7h-9275-46v2)).
-  - It now emits an error on a file upload stream if the request disconnects partway through, which is different to the error that used to come from [`graphql-upload`](https://npm.im/graphql-upload).
   - Some error messages have changed.
   - Temporarily until [mscdex/busboy#297](https://github.com/mscdex/busboy/issues/297) is fixed upstream, for the function `processRequest` and the middleware `graphqlUploadExpress` and `graphqlUploadKoa` the option `maxFileSize` is actually 1 byte less than the amount specified.

 - Updated the [`typescript`](https://npm.im/typescript) dev dependency.
 - In the function `processRequest` use the `on` method instead of `once` to listen for `error` events on the [`busboy`](https://npm.im/busboy) parser, as in edge cases the same parser could have multiple `error` events and all must be handled to prevent the Node.js process exiting with an error.
+- Simplified error handling within the function `processRequest`.
 - Added a test for the function `processRequest` with a maliciously malformed multipart request.
