gulp - npm Package Versions

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)

Task system changes

replaced 3.x task system (orchestrator) with new task system (bach)
- removed gulp.reset
- removed 3 argument syntax for gulp.task
- gulp.task should only be used when you will call the task with the CLI
- added gulp.series and gulp.parallel methods for composing tasks. Everything must use these now.
- added single argument syntax for gulp.task which allows a named function to be used as the name of the task and task function.
- added gulp.tree method for retrieving the task tree. Pass { deep: true } for an archy compatible node list.
- added gulp.registry for setting custom registries.

CLI changes

split CLI out into a module if you want to save bandwidth/disk space. you can install the gulp CLI using either npm install gulp -g or npm install gulp-cli -g, where gulp-cli is the smaller one (no module code included)
add --tasks-json flag to CLI to dump the whole tree out for other tools to consume
added --verify flag to check the dependencies in package.json against the plugin blacklist.

vinyl/vinyl-fs changes

added gulp.symlink which functions exactly like gulp.dest, but symlinks instead.
added dirMode param to gulp.dest and gulp.symlink which allows better control over the mode of the destination folder that is created.
globs passed to gulp.src will be evaluated in order, which means this is possible gulp.src(['*.js', '!b*.js', 'bad.js']) (exclude every JS file that starts with a b except bad.js)
performance for gulp.src has improved massively
- gulp.src(['**/*', '!b.js']) will no longer eat CPU since negations happen during walking now
added since option to gulp.src which lets you only match files that have been modified since a certain date (for incremental builds)
fixed gulp.src not following symlinks
added overwrite option to gulp.dest which allows you to enable or disable overwriting of existing files
