 ### Changed
 
 - **Breaking change:** JobList/JobListTx now support querying Jobs by a list of Job Kinds and States. Also allows for filtering by specific timestamp values. Thank you Jos Kraaijeveld (@thatjos)! 🙏🏻 [PR #236](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/236).
+- **Breaking change:** Client `InsertMany` and `InsertManyTx` now return number of jobs inserted as `int` instead of `int64`. This change was made to make the type in use a little more idiomatic. [PR #293](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/293).
 - **Breaking change:** `river.JobState*` type aliases have been removed. All job state constants should be accessed through `rivertype.JobState*` instead. [PR #300](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/300).
