The primary breaking change from v5 → v6 is that rendered files use strings instead of Buffers for their contents (this change may affect some programmatic API users but should not affect CLI-only users).

v5.0.0 is a complete overhaul of themer's core (rewritten from the ground up in TypeScript), addressing many issues and points of feedback since themer's inception.

New features and bug fixes

• themer now has an official programmatic JavaScript API.
• themer can now render multiple color sets simultaneously.
• General cleanup and fixes, like #89 and #150.

Breaking changes

• The multi-package paradigm has been retired; themer now ships as a single package for ease of use (and simpler maintenance into the future).
• Many outputted themes also include the source color set name so that multiple themer-generated themes can be used side-by-side (see #141).
• The output directory structure has been changed dramatically to better support multi-color-set theme generation.

This release adds support for templates to provide their own installation instructions. Instructions for all the templates get accumulated and written to <output dir>/README.md.

This release fixes an issue for some users where generated theme output files were not being written to disk.

Update dependencies. 🌱

When loading base16 schemes, the file extension can now be .yaml as well as .yml (https://github.com/mjswensen/themer/pull/19 by @modille).

This release adds support for base16 schemes!

base16 is a popular project with a strong ecosystem, including a variety of high-quality color schemes from many authors. Now themer can utilize base16 scheme files by passing them directly to themer's --colors command-line argument (see README for more information).

This release adds some handy tools that will make the process of authoring your own color sets a little smoother.

New Features:

• Color sets can now omit shade1 through shade6, and those colors will be interpolated automatically (from shade0 and shade7), via the color-steps package. See #15. 🤖
• themer now supports any CSS color format, rather than just hex colors. 🌈
• themer now checks your color set to make sure it is valid, and logs an error if it's not. ✅
• Better error logging, and more informative (and colorful) output. 🖥

Breaking changes:

• This release drops support for Node 6, now requiring Node 8, which is the current recommended LTS version (see Node's release schedule). If you still need to keep version 6 around for other projects, I would recommend a tool like nvm for easily managing multiple Node versions on a single machine.
