Releases: svg/svgo
v3.3.2
Notice
An update on what happened with v3.3.0 and v3.3.1. While we have retained CJS support, the migration to EMS has changed the acceptable ways to import SVGO, in ways that users depended on before. This effectively made SVGO v3 a breaking change.
Rather than resolve or workaround these differences, we've opted to release SVGO v3.3.2, which is effectively a revert to v3.2.0, and deprecate versions v3.3.0 and v3.3.1. We'll then proceed to work on releasing v4 which will document the breaking changes, and feature further breaking changes that were slated for v4, like disabling removeViewBox
by default.
Before the v4.0.0 release, I'll put more focus on testing and use release candidates, just to help make the release go smoothly! 👍🏽
Sorry for the headache, and thanks for your patience.
v3.3.1
Notice
SVGO v3.3.0, which was meant to migrate to ESM without breaking CJS support, unfortunately broke CJS projects. There was a mistake with exports, so the loadConfig
function wasn't available in the CJS bundle and lead to issues for many users.
Thanks to everyone who raised the issue, and to @nuintun who submitted a pull request to resolve it so quickly.
I apologize for letting that breaking change through, and will aim to do better. Namely, by adding more tests to cover our exports, and any other public interface in general for each distribution of SVGO, so this doesn't happen again.
SVGO v3.3.1 should resolve the issue for CJS projects, but if you encounter anything else, do let us know by opening an issue on GitHub.
v3.3.0
Deprecated
This release introduced breaking changes, which have been reverted in v3.3.2. The bug fixes will be reintroduced in v4.0.0.
What's Changed
ESM
SVGO is now a dual package, serving for both Common JS and ESM usage. We believe there shouldn't be any problems, especially as SVGO as largely stateless, but feel free to open an issue if you encounter problems with this.
To be explicit, this is not a breaking change, and SVGO should continue to work in Common JS projects!
Thanks to @jdufresne for doing the bulk of the work.
