v9.0.0

• Added searchStrategy option:
  • The none value means that cosmiconfig does not traverse any directories upwards.
    • Breaking change: This is the default value if you don't pass a stopDir option, which means that cosmiconfig no longer traverses directories by default, and instead just looks in the current working directory.
      • If you want to achieve maximum backwards compatibility without adding an explicit stopDir, add the searchStrategy: 'global' option.
  • The project value means that cosmiconfig traverses upwards until it finds a package.json (or .yaml) file.
  • The global value means that cosmiconfig traverses upwards until the passed stopDir, or your home directory if no stopDir is given.
• Breaking change: Meta config files (i.e. config.js and similar) are not looked for in the current working directory anymore. Instead, it looks in the .config subfolder.
• Breaking change: When defining searchPlaces in a meta config file, the tool-defined searchPlaces are merged into this. Users may specify mergeSearchPlaces: false to disable this.
• Added support for a special $import key which will import another configuration file
  • The imported file will act as a base file - all properties from that file will be applied to the configuration, but can be overridden by the importing file
  • For more information, read the import section of the README
• Added searching in OS conventional folders (XDG compatible on Linux, %APPDATA% on Windows, Library/Preferences on macOS) for searchStrategy: 'global'
• Fixed crash when trying to load a file that is not readable due to file system permissions
• Fixed wrong ERR_REQUIRE_ESM error being thrown when there is an issue loading an ESM file
