BREAKING CHANGES

• TypeScript code now compiles to ES2017. This breaks compatibility with Node < 8.10
  and with very old browsers that do not support ES2017 syntax. If you need to support these older
  systems either override "compilerOptions": { "target": "es5" }, or use Babel to compile ES6+ code
  down to ES5.
• Modules once again compile to CommonJS, not
  ES Modules. This change is backwards-compatible with v2.x but
  backwards-incompatible with v3.x and v4.x prereleases. Most
  downstream projects should be unaffected.
