BREAKING CHANGES

1. minify build options:

   • To migrate the code follow the example below (in rapid-build.json):

   Before:

   {
   	minify: {
   		js: {
   			scripts: false,
   			mangle : false,
   			fileName: 'rapid-build.min.js'
   		}
   	}
   }

   Now:

   {
   	minify: {
   		client: {
   			js: {
   				enable: false,
   				options: { mangle: false },
   				fileName: 'rapid-build.min.js'
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }

2. build option:

   • breaking change only applies to people who need to support ie 8 and 9
   • changed build option minify.css.splitMinFile default value to false (82ebb10)
   • the build will no longer by default split styles.min.css into multiple files if the selector count > 4,095
   • if you need this feature set the following in your rapid-build.json:
     • minify.css.splitMinFile = true

3. bump typescript:

   • breaking change only applies to people using typescript
