Hello,
This fix is meant to correct the behavior when we do an ->equalTo(null) ParseQuery.
Before that, it used ->doesNotExist($key) which can work if the attribute has never been set, but if the attribute is set and equals to NULL, then it does not match.
The only workaround I found to effectively query on NULL values before this patch is to do an ->notContainedIn($key, [null]) which is not pretty and not accurate.
I think there is no reason to replace a "IS NULL" query part by a "DOES NOT EXISTS", they both mean something different and the SDK users must choose one or the other according to their needs.
