Upgrade to lib-istanbul-api

[MichaReiser]

A very early draft of an upgrade to lib-istanbul-api. The configuration differs from the existing one (uses the format of istanbul-api) and features like check coverage are still missing. But it might be a good start if someone wants to seriously upgrade to lib-istanbul-api.

I just wanted to share it, if it is not needed, just close the pull request,

Cheers.

I'm really interested in this, given that the current istanbul used by karma-coverage is dead in favor of the new library (and they have made significant performance improvements). Are there any plans by the maintainers to finish this up and merge it?

This is needed, but I don't think I will have time to work on it anytime soon.

What's the chance of a (cleanly made) pull request to be accepted, even if some features - e.g. like coverage check - are still missing?

CLAs look good, thanks!

I would be okay with merging it into a beta branch on here, and publish as a beta version to npm. But for it to go into a regular release we need feature parity with what is currently there.

Any progress on this?

[MichaReiser]

I had no time to work further on this.
