Recent updates

  • v0.4.0

    v0.4.0 raises the minimum Node.js requirement to Node 20 and adds a dedicated `/node` sub-export for bundler compatibility. The code changes also include an export map restructuring and CI toolchain updates that are not mentioned in the release notes.

    BreakingFeatures
  • v0.3.0

    v0.3.0 adds new child-process utility wrappers, execFile (Promise-based) and execFileSync (sync) under unicorn-magic. The wrappers mainly differ from Node's built-ins by using a larger default maxBuffer (10 MB) and using string output (stdout/stderr as strings). The diff also includes TypeScript definition restructuring and new tests for the added APIs.

    Features
  • v0.2.0

    v0.2.0 adds two new path utility exports, `rootDirectory` and `traversePathUp`, and updates the TypeScript definitions and tests accordingly. It also includes a minor documentation-only adjustment in `index.d.ts` and adds a security policy file.
