Access to $.Param subkey stopped working in 0.56.0

My code:

{{- with $.Param "author.name" -}}
  {{- with $.Param "author.homepage" -}}
    <a href="{{ $.Param "author.homepage" }}" rel="author external">
  {{- end -}}
    {{ $.Param "author.name" }}
  {{- with $.Param "author.homepage" -}}
    </a>
  {{- end -}}
{{- else -}}
  <a href="{{ .Site.Author.homepage }}" rel="author external">
    {{ .Site.Author.name }}
  </a>
{{- end -}}

stopped working, complaining about “author.name” being a string. The interesting thing is, I just changed it to this version because the documentation told me to (still searching where I found that for reference).

Are there any undocumented changes to the Param handling? If so, which GitHub commits might enlighten me?

This snippet should take an author from the frontmatter, if it does not exists (default case) then uses the one from the global config.

Frontmattersample:

author: 
    name: Patrick Kollitsch
    homepage: https://kollitsch.de

Edit: here is how this should work in the documentation: https://gohugo.io/variables/page/#access-nested-fields-in-front-matter

Patch release 0.56.1 fixes this issue.
