Release 2.0.0 lacks dist folder

There is no dist folder here: https://github.com/simple-statistics/simple-statistics/tree/v2.0.0

(dist is still present in v2.0.0-beta.)

Hi Dominik,

This is intentional: dist is now gitignored but then specifically included with package.json so it is included in the npm package. This follows the suggested workflow of npmcdn, with the end result being:

• Since dist files are no longer in git, there are no gnarly git conflicts when multiple PRs rebuild dist
• Also less commit noise as people rebuild dist
• But the dist file is still available if you clone & build, or if you use the npmcdn distribution.

Hi Tom, thanks for explaining!

So how should we do if we are using bower ?

[tmcw]

You can either

bower install https://github.com/simple-statistics/simple-statistics.git

Or use the CDN or something other than Bower. I'm sorry, but bower is a drag on my time and the time of other open source project owners, and it works against the flow of GitHub repos by requiring checked-in builds. Browserify, webpack, rollup, CDNs, JavaScript files - there are many other options, and I recommend any of them over Bower.

There's also a bower.zip located at https://npmcdn.com/simple-statistics@2.0.1/bower.zip
