*Authors*
- Checking and updating authors has been migrated
to a custom script in the repo
*Changelog*
- changelogplease is no longer maintained
- generate changelog in markdown for GitHub releases
- generate changelog in HTML for blog posts
- generate contributors list in HTML for blog posts
*dist*
- clone dist repo, copy files, and commit/push
- commit tag with dist files on main branch;
remove dist files from main branch after release
*cdn*
- clone cdn repo, copy files, and commit/push
- create versioned and unversioned copies in cdn/
- generate md5 sums and archives for Google and MSFT
*build*
- implement reproducible builds and verify release builds
* uses the last modified date for the latest commit
* See https://reproducible-builds.org/
- the verify workflow also ensures all files were
properly published to the CDN and npm
*docs*
- the new release workflow is documented at build/release/README.md
*misc*
- now that we don't need the jquery-release script and
now that we no longer need to build on Node 10, we can
use ESM in all files in the build folder
- move dist wrappers to "wrappers" folders for easy removal
of all built files
- limit certain workflows to the main repo (not forks)
- version in package.json has been set to beta.1 so that
the next release will be beta.2
- release-it added the `preReleaseBase` option and we
now always set it to `1` in the npm script. This is
a noop for stable releases.
Fixesjquery/jquery-release#114
Closes gh-5512
Since versions 1.11.0/2.1.0, jQuery has used a module wrapper with one strange
addition - in CommonJS environments, if a global `window` with a `document` was
not present, jQuery exported a factory accepting a `window` implementation and
returning jQuery.
This approach created a number of problems:
1. Properly typing jQuery would be a nightmare as the exported value depends on
the environment. In practice, typing definitions ignored the factory case.
2. Since we now use named exports for the jQuery module version, it felt weird
to have `jQuery` and `$` pointing to the factory instead of real jQuery.
Instead, for jQuery 4.0 we leverage the just added `exports` field in
`package.json` to expose completely separate factory entry points: one for the
full build, one for the slim one.
Exports definitions for `./factory` & `./factory-slim` are simpler than for `.`
and `./slim` - this is because it's a new entry point, we only expose a named
export and so there's no issue with just pointing Node.js to the CommonJS
version (we cannot use the module version for `import` from Node.js to avoid
double package hazard). The factory entry points are also not meant for the Web
browser which always has a proper `window` - and they'd be unfit for an
inclusion in a regular script tag anyway. Because of that, we also don't
generate minified versions of these entry points.
The factory files are not pushed to the CDN since they are mostly aimed
at Node.js.
Closes gh-5293
Updated tasks include:
- lint
- npmcopy
- build, minify, and process for distribution.
- new custom build command using yargs
- compare size of minified/gzip built files
- pretest scripts, including qunit-fixture, babel transpilation, and npmcopy
- node smoke tests
- promises aplus tests
- new watch task using `rollup.watch` directly
Also:
- upgraded husky and added the new lint command
- updated lint config to use new "flat" config format. See https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new
- Temporarily disabled one lint rule until flat config is supported by eslint-plugin-import. See https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/issues/2556
- committed package-lock.json
- updated all test scripts to use the new build
- added an express test server that uses middleware-mockserver (this can be used to run tests without karma)
- build-all-variants is now build:all
Close gh-5318
