Patches

• Removed useless dependencies: #377

This release marks a completely fresh start for this project.

Over the years, the core of the package has gotten bigger and bigger, eventually containing features that should not be part of it at all. This led to serve becoming rather slow in certain situations. But not just in terms of serving requests, but also when installing (because of the dependency count).

As of today, the package is going into a completely new direction and we're re-evaluating any feature suggestions we're encoutering on the repository.

If you want to continue using the old serve, please lock it like this in your dependencies:

{
  "serve": "6.5.8"
}

Notice that the version number is not prefixed with ^.

However, for those of you who would like to upgrade, there are plenty amazing things awaiting you:

• The core is now very lean, therefore fast to install and serving requests faster.
• The package is now powered by serve-handler, which means you can finally customize the entire behavior of all the routes of your static project.
• Later today, static deployments running on Now will work with the same configuration as serve – right out of the box: Use serve for development and Now in production.

If you have any suggestions, let us know in the issue list or create a pull request to fix something! 🙏

Thank you all for using serve and have a great day!
