v3.0.0 Release Candidate 1

This release focuses on simplifying the package for UserFrosting 4 to improve maintainability. Features unsupported by UF4 are largely removed.

Added

• Raw configuration validation.
• Raw configuration merging with collision logic (ported from UserFrosting gulpfile).
• Path transformation with support for file replacement based on rule order (later rules superseed earlier ones).
• Ability to specify base path for resolution of bundle resources and path transformations.
• Support for comprehensive logging through a passed logger function.

Changed

• Functionality offered by results file has been replaced by ResultsMap property.
• Reads stream chunks (Vinyl instances) instead of directly from file system.
• As an internal gulp pipeline is no longer responsible for bundle generation, custom Transform streams (e.g. gulp-concat-css) must be provided.
• Path transformations will no longer be applied to files due to complexity around how paths are managed in gulp. Instead this feature will be used for override logic alone.
• Bundle results are now retrieved via a callback which is given a collection of Vinyl NullFiles to retain as much useful information as possible.
• Moved package under @userfrosting organisation in NPM and removed superfluous uf from package name.

Removed

• Support for CSS sourcemaps (broken since 2.27.2).
• Specification of pre-minified files (minSrc).
• CoffeeScript, and LESS compilation (functionality can be implemented manually through provided Bundlers).
• Glob paths.
• Environment based build conditions (functionality can be implemented manually through provided Bundlers).
• Incremental/watched builds.
• Automatic HTML tag generation for results file (use results callback to implement this manually).
• File copy support (use gulp.dest or an equivalent).
• Result file support (replaced by callback).
• Removed dependency on gulp as per best practises.
