Might be intentional, but worked in 2.1.35, and I suspect a lot of people will be depending on it and pretty surprised, as there's no mention of a breaking change in the release notes.
To replicate, simply (I'm using Azure SQL Server):
using IDbConnection cx = new SqlConnection("your-connection-string");
string? actual = await cx.QueryFirstOrDefaultAsync<string>("select id from someTableWithAnIntIdColumn").ConfigureAwait(false);
In 2.1.35, this returns e.g. "42". In 2.1.37 it throws System.InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type 'System.String'.
Fuller exception:
System.InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32' to type 'System.String'.
