📦 5.0.0 - 2025-05-10

Following on from the deprecations in version 4.4.0, version 5.0.0 contains a number of breaking changes:

• The --format CLI argument and format config file key have been removed. Switch to using --output-format and outputFormat.
• v8r now ignores patterns in .gitignore by default.
• The fileLocation argument of getSingleResultLogMessage has been removed. The signature is now getSingleResultLogMessage(result, format). Plugins implementing the getSingleResultLogMessage hook will need to to update the signature. If you are using fileLocation in the getSingleResultLogMessage function body, switch to using result.fileLocation.
• File paths are no longer passed to plugins in dot-relative notation. Plugins implementing the getSingleResultLogMessage, getAllResultsLogMessage and parseInputFile plugin hooks may need to be updated.
• The minimum compatible node version is now Node 20.

Other changes in this release:

• v8r is now tested on node 24
• Upgrade to latest major versions of core packages (got, glob, minimatch, etc)
