Micro 6.0.0

Micro 6.0.0 is the most exciting release yet! Smaller, faster and easier to use.

• We no longer transpile import and export. The following examples are valid with Micro 6.0.0:

// lambda style
module.exports = () => 'Hello world'  

// req, res
module.exports = (req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello world');
}

// promises
const request = require('request-promise');
module.exports = () => request('https://google.com');

// async / await
const sleep = require('then-sleep');
module.exports = async () => {
  await sleep(500);
  return 'I waited 500ms with no callbacks!';
}

# listen on localhost:3000
$ micro index.js

• We're ditching support for versions of Node older than 6.0.0. You can continue to use older versions of micro for Node 4 and 5.
• We're ditching babel in favor of async-to-gen by @leebyron. You can continue to use your own transpilation workflows with babel if you want, and micro should handle them just fine! In fact, you could also run async-to-gen yourself, and micro won't need any special flags to run your code.
• We no longer need to add the babel-runtime after transpilation, and async-to-gen's runtime is only 2 lines of extra code per file.
• The runtime and CLI live in a single package micro again, since all our dependencies are now tiny and fast. No need for micro-cli and micro-core. Just micro.
• The entire dependency tree for the framework is now drastically smaller:
