uuid 7.0.0

7.0.0 (2020-02-24)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

  • The default export, which used to be the v4() method but which was already discouraged in v3.x of this library, has been removed.
  • Explicitly note that deep imports of the different uuid version functions are deprecated and no longer encouraged and that ECMAScript module named imports should be used instead. Emit a deprecation warning for people who deep-require the different algorithm variants.
  • Remove builtin support for insecure random number generators in the browser. Users who want that will have to supply their own random number generator function.
  • Remove support for generating v3 and v5 UUIDs in Node.js<4.x
  • Convert code base to ECMAScript Modules (ESM) and release CommonJS build for node and ESM build for browser bundlers.
