4.0.0-alpha.6

Overview

This release contains several new features as well as some minor behavioral changes. It also updates Intern and its dependencies to support TS 2.4.

New features

• Allow calling on() with no event (equivalent to using the '*' event)
• Add back some register/get specializations (register/getInterface, register/getReporter)
• Loading 'intern' in Node will result in an executor being installed globally (like loading the intern.js script in a browser)
• Add a new require config property -- specifies scripts or modules that should be loaded just after config resolution but before anything else
• Explicitly pass the test to test functions, and the suite to suite lifecycle hooks, to improve support for using arrow functions as callbacks

Changes

• Expose chai directly via the getPlugin system
• Synchronously install plugins that don't return promises
• Include HTML reporter CSS in browser bundle
• Update all dependencies
• Update typings to satisfy TypeScript 2.4
• Command line args now override node- and browser-specific config properties

Fixes

• Fix a bug in plugin registration where resolved plugin values weren't being installed
