This is compatibility breaking change. Furthermore, it changes the purposed behavior that was from the initial version (4c904d1bf71d01bc22fbb123493f975050560e9c).

Since currently there is an option which allows to accept lowercase hexadecimal characters, I do not see a need in this change. You can also use bytes.fromhex().
