Bosses Suddenly Extremely Overpowered After Update

[Antiary]

Server Version: Paper/Spigot 1.21.10
Boss Plugin Version: Boss 5.6.6

Description:
After updating to Boss 5.6.6, all of my custom bosses suddenly became extremely overpowered without any configuration changes on my end. Their damage, health, or abilities appear to have scaled up dramatically. This behavior started only after updating the plugin.

Expected Behavior:
Boss stats should remain the same as configured before the update.

Actual Behavior:
All bosses deal far more damage than before, and some seem to have much higher health or power levels than configured.

Questions:

Is this change intentional in the new version?

Or is it a bug and I should not need to manually rebalance every boss?

Additional Info:
Everything worked fine on the previous version of Boss. The issue started immediately after updating.
