Unreleased

3.1.0 - 2019-04-12

Added

Changelog as a seperate file, based on keepachangelog

Changed

Update all packages to their latest version
Update babel to include polyfills based on usage
Restructure webpack configuration files to remove redundant code

Removed

Removed shrink-ray library, due to it needing node-gyp which caused many problems interfering with the ease-of-use of this template

3.0.0 - 2018-09-28

Added

Introduces PostCSS to enable autoprefixer, since support of older browser (looking at you IE) is still important.
Implement eslint and basic configuration.
Implements basic test engine using jest.

Changed

Switched from EJS for templating to basic HTML using template string interpolation. This change allows for much more flexibility, i.e. with react-helmet and dynamically requiring content, such as styles.
Improves production build by executing steps in parallel.

2.5.0 - 2018-09-16

Changed

Switched to babel 7
Switched to nodemon for watch mode

2.4.0 - 2018-06-07

Added

CSS chunking is back, thanks to the now webpack 4 compliant version of extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin
- Special thanks to @zackljackson for making this possible

2.3.0 - 2018-05-31

Added

Implements server-side compression via shrink-ray

2.2.1 - 2018-05-26

Changed

Exclude the node_modules directory from babel-transpilation to avoid errors when using other libraries like material-ui

2.2.0 - 2018-05-17

Added

Implements code-splitting via react-universal-component as well as an example for using it.
Implements configuration for babel-preset-env to make actual use of the preset

Changed

Replaces stage-0 with stage-2 babel-plugin due to it being a more advanced and stable spec

Removed

Removes cssHash from the application, since the extract-css-chunks-webpack-plugin is no longer implemented since version 2.0.0 of this template
- There are plans to switch to mini-css-extract-plugin, but since it does not yet support HMR, I am gonna wait on that a little

Thanks to @arkhamRejek for contributing the code-splitting feature as well as the babel-preset changes!

2.1.0 - 2018-05-02

Added

Implements react-helmet to provide improved handling for document meta information

Removes extract plugins for styles in development, to improve hot-reloading
