### Breaking

- Require Node.js 12  (#8)  24e52d3
- This package is now pure [ESM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules)
	- This means you need to use `import {isFile} from 'path-type'` instead of `const {isFile} = require('path-type')`.
	- I would recommend moving to ESM. ESM can still import CommonJS packages, but CommonJS cannot import ESM packages synchronously.
	- If you cannot move to ESM yet, don't upgrade to this version.
