   This fixes the issue where using the ``zarr_version`` parameter would raise a deprecation warning telling the user to use
   a non-existent ``zarr_format`` parameter instead. (:issue:`10163`, :pull:`10164`)

+- :py:meth:`DataTree.sel` and :py:meth:`DataTree.isel` display the path of the first failed node again  (:pull:`10154`).
