Version 6.0.0-alpha.1

Big thanks to new collaborator @mike-marcacci for his help solving tricky bugs and edge-cases!

Major

• Updated Node.js support from v6.10+ to v8.5+ for native ESM, object rest/spread properties, and async functions.
• Removed the @babel/runtime dependency and config.
• Fixed #45, #77 and #83 via #81:
  • Add error event listeners to file streams to prevent server crashes on aborted requests or parser errors.
  • Use fs-capacitor to ensure the server doesn’t hang if an upload await is out of order, or is never consumed.

Minor

• Refactored package scripts to use prepare to support installation via Git (e.g. npm install jaydenseric/apollo-upload-server).

Patch

• Updated dependencies.
• Use single instead of double typographic quotes in error messages.
• Use babel.config.js instead of .babelrc.js.
• Enabled shippedProposals in @babel/preset-env config.
• Improved testing:
  • Use tap instead of ava. Tests no longer transpile on the fly, are faster and AVA no longer dictates the Babel version.
  • Tests run against the actual dist .mjs and .js files in native ESM (--experimental-modules) and CJS environments.
  • Removed get-port dev dependency.
  • Added Express tests.
  • Test middleware error response status codes.
  • Test behavior of aborted HTTP requests.
  • Test that the app can respond if an upload is not handled.
  • Test files to upload are created in context, rather than using arbitrary project files, via #89.
• Improved package.json scripts:
  • Leveraged npm-run-all more for parallelism and reduced noise.
  • Removed the clean script rimraf dev dependency in favour of native rm -rf. Leaner and faster; we only support *nix now for contributing anyway.
  • No longer use cross-env; contributors with Windows may setup and use a Bash shell.
  • Renamed the ESM environment variable to BABEL_ESM to be more specific.
  • Removed linting fix scripts.
  • Linting included in the test script; Travis CI will fail PR's with lint errors.
  • Custom watch script.
• Improved ESLint config:
  • Simplified ESLint config with eslint-config-env.
  • Removed redundant eslint-plugin-ava dev dependency and config.
  • Undo overriding ESLint ignoring dotfiles by default as there are none now.
• Use .prettierignore to leave package.json formatting to npm.
• Tweaked package description and keywords.
• Compact package repository field.
• Improved documentation.
• Readme badge changes to deal with shields.io unreliability:
  • Use the official Travis build status badge.
  • Use badgen.now.sh for the npm version badge.
  • Removed the licence badge. The licence can be found in package.json and rarely changes.
  • Removed the Github issues and stars badges. The readme is most viewed on Github anyway.
• changelog.md version entries now have “Major”, “Minor” and “Patch” subheadings.
