Poku v3 is here 🎉

🐷 I'm extremely excited to release the new Poku version with even more performance, 6 (yes, six!) customized reporters and even more efficient.

• It took almost four months of hard work to develop and document the all the new features with a lot of care and dedication.

⚙️ How to Migrate?

There are a few breaking changes, here's how to carry out the migration:

• For Node.js, make sure you have version 14.x.x or higher.
• Instead of poku --parallel or poku -p, just use poku.
• Instead of poku (sequential in v2), use poku --sequential.
• If you have some flag using kebab case (e.g., --fail-fast), use camel case instead (e.g., --failFast).
• Instead of setting the platform manually (poku --platform=..., poku --deno, poku --bun or poku --node), just use the platform/runtime to call Poku, for example: npx poku, bun poku or deno run poku.

Thanks for all your support.

— Cheers, Weslley ✨
