# Changelog

## 4.0.0

No API changes, but lots of dependency changes.  You'll want to remove all `node_modules` so Elixir can install the needed dependencies and version.

* Node 16+ 
* Webpack 5
* Node Sass has been removed in favor of Dart Sass
  * Removes Python dependency
  * Removes usages of node-gyp
* Supports Vue 2 and Vue 3

After the installation, you may notice old Webpack plugins that are no longer needed as of Webpack 5.  You may safely remove these.

You will need to tweak your `package.json` scripts to account for Webpack 5:

```json
{
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "webpack --node-env development",
        "watch": "npm run dev -- --watch",
        "prod": "webpack --node-env production"
    }
}
```

Lastly, we've introduced a new `enableDevtools` flag that can be used to force devtools in production environments:

```javascript
const elixir = require("coldbox-elixir");

elixir.enableDevtools = true;

module.exports = elixir(mix => {
    // ...
});
```

You do not need to do this for non-production environments.  The devtools will be enabled automatically there.

## 3.0.0

* **Major upgrade** to ColdBox Elixir.  No longer mirroring Laravel Elixir.
* All compilation is done through Webpack instead of Gulp.

  * `mix.less`

  * `mix.rollup`
  * `mix.version`

* PostCSS support is now automatic if a `postcss.config.js` file is found in the project root.
* The `elixir` and `elixirPath` helper functions in ColdBox 5.0.0 and earlier are incompatible with ColdBox Elixir 3.0.0.  Please see the [Versioning docs](https://coldbox-elixir.ortusbooks.com/versioning) for updated helper functions.
