v5.0.0

Compare Source

We've tried to provide a high-level changelog for gulp v5 below, but it
doesn't contain all changes from the 60+ dependencies that we maintain.

Please see individual changelogs to drill down
into all changes that were made.

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• Drop support for Node.js <10.13
• Default stream encoding to UTF-8
• Standardized on anymatch library for globbing paths. All globs should work the same between src and watch now!
• Removed support for ordered globs. This aligns with the chokidar globbing implementation. If you need your globs to be ordered, you can use ordered-read-stream
• All globs and paths are normalized to unix-like filepaths
• Only allow JS variants for .gulp.* config files
• Removed support for alpha releases of v4 from gulp-cli
• Removed the --verify flag
• Renamed the --require flag to --preload to avoid conflicting with Node.js flags
• Removed many legacy and deprecated loaders
• Upgrade to chokidar v3
• Clone Vinyl objects with stream contents using teex, but no longer wait for all streams to flow before cloned streams will receive data
• Stop using process.umask() to make directories, instead falling back to Node's default mode
• Throw on non-function, non-string option coercers
• Drop support of Node.js snake_case flags
• Use a Symbol for attaching the gulplog namespace to the store
• Use a Symbol for attaching the gulplog store to the global
• Use sha256 to hash the v8flags cache into a filename

Features

• Streamlined the dependency tree
• Switch all streams implementation to Streamx
• Rewrote glob-stream to use a custom directory walk that relies on newer Node.js features and is more performant than old implementation
• Implement translation support for all CLI messages and all messages passing through gulplog
• Allow users to customize or remove the timestamp from their logs
• Upgraded gulplog to v2. Messages logged via v1 will also display a deprecated warning. Plugins should update to v2 as the community upgrades to gulp 5
• Added support for gulpile.cjs and gulpfile.mjs
• Add support for swc, esbuild, sucrase, and mdx loaders
• Provide an ESM export (#​2760) (b00de68)
• Support sourcemap handling on streaming Vinyl contents
• Support extends syntax for .gulp.* config file
• Allow overriding gulpfile and preloads via .gulp.* config file

Bug Fixes

• Resolve bugs related to symlinks on various platforms
• Resolved some reported ReDoS CVEs and improved performance in glob-parent
• Rework errors surfaced when encountering files or symlinks when trying to create directories
• Ensure watch allows japanese characters in globs (72668c6)
• Ensure watch does not trigger on negated globs (72668c6)
• Improve handling of BOM at the beginning of a stream
• Properly handle function coercer in array of option coercers
• Fork to-absolute-glob to:
  • Check negative patterns before trimming
  • Ensure glob-like characters are escaped in cwd & root options
  • Resolve ../ at the beginning of globs

Miscellaneous Chores

• Remove lazystream dependency
• Updated various stream test suites to test against Node.js core stream, readable-stream, and streamx
• Normalize repository, dropping node <10.13 support (#​2758) (72668c6)
