@mrmlnc Would you consider keeping Node v10 support around? Gulp 5 will ship with Node v10.13+ support and I'd like to ensure we have fast-glob support while we work on Gulp 6 (which will be Node v18+)

[mrmlnc]

Hi, @phated,

Nope. The @nodelib/fs.walk package no longer has support for versions Node.js below 12.22.0 (engines). Also, many dependencies (mocha@10, typescript@5) no longer support even 12.x.x.

You can continue to use the current major version of this package.

Does the change in #418 count as "breaking"?

I'm thinking there might be existing code which assumes results are always posix and attempts to convert to windows style, but may break now that results are in platform-specific style (when absolute is set)

I'd love #434 released, is #300 the only blocker?

I guess you can change the title to Release v4.0.0 [xx.xx.2024]? 🤷‍♂️

Is v4 ready to be officially released?
