+`FunctionRegistry` exposes two additional methods `udafs` and `udwfs` which expose set of registered user defined aggregation and window function names. To upgrade implement methods returning set of registered function names:

 ### `datafusion-proto` use `TaskContext` rather than `SessionContext` in physical plan serde methods
 
 There have been changes in the public API methods of `datafusion-proto` which handle physical plan serde.
