 - The `rowPositionsDebounceMs` prop was removed.
 - The `apiRef.current.resize()` method was removed.
 - The `<GridOverlays />` component is not exported anymore.
+- The `sanitizeFilterItemValue()` utility is not exported anymore.
 - `gridRowsDataRowIdToIdLookupSelector` was removed. Use `gridRowsLookupSelector` in combination with `getRowId()` API method instead.
