 - The minimum requirement for julia was raised from `1.0` to `1.4`. ([#221](https://github.com/JuliaTesting/Aqua.jl/pull/221))
 - In `test_deps_compat`, the two subtests `check_extras` and `check_weakdeps` are now run by default. ([#202](https://github.com/JuliaTesting/Aqua.jl/pull/202)) [BREAKING]
+- `test_deps_compat` now reqiures compat entries for all dependencies. Stdlibs no longer get ignored. This change is motivated by similar changes in the General registry. ([#215](https://github.com/JuliaTesting/Aqua.jl/pull/215)) [BREAKING]
