+* `Ack.fromJsonSchema()` now compiles the `pattern` keyword, restoring import
+  of schemas exported from Ack. It uses an unanchored ECMA-262 search on

 ### Added
 
-* `Ack.fromJsonSchema()` now compiles the `pattern` and `propertyNames`
-  keywords. `pattern` is an unanchored ECMA-262 search applied to strings
-  only, and is rejected at import time when it is not a valid regular
-  expression string. `propertyNames` validates every key of an object
-  instance against its subschema. Both round-trip through the Draft-7 export
-  unchanged, raising the pinned upstream conformance selection to 631 cases.
