v5.0.0

[glenn2223]

5.0.0 - 2021-04-06

Breaking changes

• Not dependant on ritwickdey.LiveServer as there was no actual code dependencies in the extension (#23). If you require the Live Server extension, it can still be installed from here
• Changes to the showOutputWindow setting, now called showOutputWindowOn (#26)
  • The system now acts as more of a logger rather than a mass of information
  • Accepted values are now Trace, Debug, Information, Warning, Error or None
  • The default is now Warning
• Changes to autoprefix settings (#41)
  • The default is now defaults (as per Autoprefixer recommendations)
  • The setting no longer accepts string[] OR null, but a string[] OR boolean
    • Rather than null, you now use false
• No longer supporting brace expansion glob patterns (#27)
  • This is because the underlying glob pattern matching has moved from minimatch to picomatch. A full feature comparison can be found here
• Only works on VS Code v1.52 and newer (#34)
• Settings have been updated for continuity and to better aid extension performance (#30)
  • formats[].savePath must start with a path separator but not end in one
  • includeItems must start with a path separator and end in either .sass or .scss (for performance purposes)
  • forceBaseDirectory must start with a path separator but not end in one

Added

• When autoprefix is true we will search for either:

  • a .browserlistsrc file or,
  • "browserslist": [ string[] ] in a package.json file

  (This allows you to use the same setting across your solution, rather than duplicating content)

• Increased range of glob pattern support

  • Full support for extglobs
  • Added support for posix brackets
  • Added support for regex syntax
  • Full comparison can be found here

• When a change is detected the initial output now includes a date and time stamp - See this comment on #26

Fixed

• Fixed: the formats[].savePathSegmentKeys setting would allow non string values in the array
• Fixed: the excludeList setting would allow non string values in the array
• Fixed: the includeItems setting would allow non string values in the array
• Fixed: the autoprefix setting would allow non string values in the array
• Fixed: some setting descriptions have been updated for better clarity/readability
• Error catching no longer fails when the error is with finding SASS files. Instead, this fact is highlighted

  • Allow @forward...with to take arguments that have a !default flag without a trailing comma.
  • Improve the performance of unitless and single-unit numbers.
  • Other small changes (nothing user facing)
• Various dev dependency updates (nothing user facing)
