BREAKING CHANGE:
Related to #1985. Prior to Embark's minimum supported version of Node.js being
bumped to to 10.17.0, Embark was incompatible with any relatively recent
release of the `ipfs-http-client` package.
While *internal* changes are needed re: ipfs's `Buffer` export for
e.g. `embark_demo` to function correctly *(and this PR makes those changes)*,
Embark otherwise runs/tests okay.
Keep in mind #2033.
However, if a dApp author were to explicitly `require('ifps-api')` in the
front-end that wouldn't work as before; and swapping `"ipfs-http-client"` for
`"ipfs-api"` might also not be enough — there are API changes that dApp authors
would need to consider, regardless of Embark presently supplying the dependency
and EmbarkJS wrapping around it.
Closes#1994.
When making use of the `useBuiltIns: 'usage'` option for @babel/preset-env
(which is the case for all transpiled packages in Embark's monorepo) a package
needs to have both @babel/runtime-corejs3 and core-js@3 specified as
dependencies.
BREAKING CHANGE:
node: >=10.17.0 <12.0.0
npm: >=6.11.3
yarn: >=1.19.1
node v10.17.0 is the latest in the 10.x series and is still in the Active LTS
lifecycle. Embark is still not compatible with node's 12.x and 13.x
series (because of some dependencies), otherwise it would probably make sense
to bump our minimum supported node version all the way to the most recent 12.x
release.
npm v6.11.3 is the version that's bundled with node v10.17.0.
yarn v1.19.1 is the most recent version as of the time node v10.17.0 was
released.
