Version 5.0.0

Major

• Updated Node.js support to ^12.20 || >= 14.13.
• Stopped supporting Internet Explorer.
• Updated dev dependencies, some of which require newer Node.js versions than were previously supported.
• Added a package exports field.
• Added a package sideEffects field.
• Published code now contains more modern ES syntax.
• The tests are now ESM in .mjs files instead of CJS in a .js file.

Patch

• Simplified JSDoc related package scripts now that jsdoc-md v10+ automatically generates a Prettier formatted readme.
• Added a package test:jsdoc script that checks the readme API docs are up to date with the source JSDoc.
• Stop using hard-rejection to detect unhandled Promise rejections in tests, as Node.js v15+ does this natively.
• Test the bundle size manually using esbuild and gzip-size, removing size-limit related dev dependencies, config, and scripts.
• More specific package main field path.
• Updated GitHub Actions CI config:
  • Run tests with Node.js v12, v14, v16.
  • Updated actions/checkout to v2.
  • Updated actions/setup-node to v2.
  • Use the simpler npm install-test command.
  • Don’t specify the CI environment variable as it’s set by default.
• Removed npm-debug.log from the .gitignore file as npm v4.2.0+ doesn’t create it in the current working directory.
• Documentation improvements.
• The file changelog.md is no longer published.
