v8.0.0 (2022-12-01)

:boom: Breaking Change

• Drop Node.js v12, v13 and v14 Support
• Transition code base from CommonJS to ESM
  • This should not affect WebdriverIO users as you can use the testrunner, as well as webdriver, devtools and webdriverio NPM packages in a CJS environment
  • We still mark this as breaking as we can't gurantee that all (untested) functionality will behave the same due to all rewrites done to the code base
• Removal of @wdio/sync which we deprecated in v7
• WebdriverIO types are now accessible through @wdio/globals/types instead of webdriverio/async
• Removal of browser.config
  • Please use browser.options instead
  • This will stop support assigning custom properties to the wdio.conf.js which we disadvise you to do, instead either assign it as part of a custom capability, e.g. custom:options (note the : in it, read more on custom capabilities in the WebDriver spec) or via `@wdio/shared-store-service
• discontinued support for tsconfig-paths

:rocket: New Feature

• New runner plugin called @wdio/browser-runner allows you to run unit and component tests in the browser
• Access WebdriverIO primitives through the new @wdio/globals package
• New Action API

:house: Internal

• Update required Node.js version for development to v18.12.1
• Migrate unit tests from Jest to Vitest

:nail_care: Polish

• Improvements on configuration wizard and create-wdio
  • It now detects whether your projects uses ESM or CJS and creates example files accordingly
  • It now finds the project root and sets up the project relative to it
  • Adds support for browser runner selection

:memo: Documentation

• Little design tweaks to the hero section on the main page
• Added new section for component testing
• Added new API section for browser, element, mock objects, modules and environment variables
