Sourced from cosmiconfig's changelog.

7.0.0

• Breaking change: Add ${moduleName}rc.cjs and ${moduleName}.config.cjs to the default searchPlaces, to support users of "type": "module" in recent versions of Node.
• Breaking change: Drop support for Node 8. Now requires Node 10+.

6.0.0

• Breaking change: The package now has named exports. See examples below.

• Breaking change: Separate async and sync APIs, accessible from different named exports. If you used explorer.searchSync() or explorer.loadSync(), you'll now create a sync explorer with cosmiconfigSync(), then use explorerSync.search() and explorerSync.load().

  // OLD: cosmiconfig v5
  import cosmiconfig from 'cosmiconfig';
  const explorer = cosmiconfig('example');
  const searchAsyncResult = await explorer.search();
  const loadAsyncResult = await explorer.load('./file/to/load');
  const searchSyncResult = explorer.searchSync();
  const loadSyncResult = explorer.loadSync('./file/to/load');
  // NEW: cosmiconfig v6
  import { cosmiconfig, cosmiconfigSync } from 'cosmiconfig';
  const explorer = cosmiconfig('example');
  const searchAsyncResult = await explorer.search();
  const loadAsyncResult = await explorer.load('./file/to/load');
  const explorerSync = cosmiconfigSync('example');
  const searchSyncResult = explorerSync.search();
  const loadSyncResult = explorerSync.load('./file/to/load');

• Breaking change: Remove support for Node 4 and 6. Requires Node 8+.

• Breaking change: Use npm package yaml to parse YAML instead of npm package js-yaml.

• Breaking change: Remove cosmiconfig.loaders and add named export defaultLoaders that exports the default loaders used for each extension.

  import { defaultLoaders } from 'cosmiconfig';
  console.log(Object.entries(defaultLoaders))
  // [
  //   [ '.js', [Function: loadJs] ],
  //   [ '.json', [Function: loadJson] ],
  //   [ '.yaml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
  //   [ '.yml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
  //   [ 'noExt', [Function: loadYaml] ]
  // ]
