Changelog
8.1.0 / 2020-07-30
In this release, Mocha now builds its browser bundle with Rollup and Babel, which will provide the project's codebase more flexibility and consistency.
While we've been diligent about backwards compatibility, it's possible consumers of the browser bundle will encounter differences (other than an increase in the bundle size). If you do encounter an issue with the build, please report it here.
This release does not drop support for IE11.
Other community contributions came from @Devjeel, @Harsha509 and @sharath2106. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release!
