Remix PWA v3.0

After weeks of building, iteration, debugging and testing, we are finally please to announce Remix PWA v3.0 to you! The third major release of remix-pwa ships with a lot more changes, updates, fixes and even additions you didn't see coming. A huge thanks to all of you for your contributions, issues, PRs, ideas, RFCs and discussions. This was one huge teamwork and a big W for PWA in the Remix community 💿!

✨ Features

It's more than just new features but rather a whole ecosystem shipped this time around 😁.

• Remix PWA just got it's own compiler! Remix PWA v3.0 ships with a brand new compiler for building service workers and a lot more. Hook your configs into remix.config.js and build away!
• A brand new CLI engine. remix-pwa utilizes a new CLI engine for it's executable that also hooks into the compiler for a blazingly, fast setup experience remix-pwa/monorepo#6
• New worker route APIs. Say hello to workerLoader and workerAction, handler functions in your route file that run exclusively in the worker thread.
• A whole new set of packages shipped including @remix-pwa/client and @remix-pwa/sync
• @remix-pwa/sw got a major bump! Still the same old package you knew with a few additions and removals.
• @remix-pwa/strategy just landed. The new breakaway from the sw package, introducing a new approach to handle caching strategies in remix-pwa remix-pwa/monorepo#35.
• A new strategy joined the troupe! StaleWhileRevalidate is the latest addition to the famous four you knew from the previous versions remix-pwa/monorepo@acf8f9e
• New component: LiveReload. Which is simply a Remix's LiveReload with HMR support for service workers.
• New PWA templates.
• Native Background Sync support. Be assured that a request would happen even after closing your app 🔄
• @remix-pwa/cache has landed 🚀! Introducing RemixCache: a thin wrapper around the browser Cache API with support for expiration and sizing. Also ships support for cachified out of the box 📦
• New Service Worker exports: errorHandler, defaultFetchHandler and getLoadContext to help you take service workers to the next level. Inspired by none other than Remix!
• A brand new site 🌐! Take a peek at the brand new Remix PWA site.
• Many more...! We can't list them all, take a look at the site if you will.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Completely deleted the old remix-pwa executable, we shan't be hearing from them in a long time.
• A lot of minor fixes and tweaks but since they're all v3.0-related, I don't think they count.

💅 Enhancements

• Separated sw and strategy. Now, you can utilise a service worker easily and cache at your whim without bordering on caching.
• Remix PWA is now a PWA framework as opposed to a caching solution.
