 A number of environments have not updated to the recent Gym changes, in particular since v0.21.
 This update is significant for the introduction of ``termination`` and ``truncation`` signatures in favour of the previously used ``done``.
-To allow backward compatibility, Gym and Gymnasium v0.26+ include an ``apply_api_compatibility`` kwarg when calling :meth:`make` that automatically converts a v0.21 API compliant environment one that is compatible with v0.26+.
