5.0.0 / 2018-01-17

Mocha starts off 2018 right by again dropping support for unmaintained rubbish.

Welcome @vkarpov15 to the team!

💥 Breaking Changes

• #3148: Drop support for IE9 and IE10 (@Bamieh)
  Practically speaking, only code which consumes (through bundling or otherwise) the userland buffer module should be affected. However, Mocha will no longer test against these browsers, nor apply fixes for them.

🎉 Enhancements

🐛 Fixes

• #3187: Fix inaccurate test duration reporting (@FND)
• #3202: Fix bad markup in HTML reporter (@DanielRuf)

5.0.2 / 2018-03-05

This release fixes a class of tests which report as false positives. Certain tests will now break, though they would have previously been reported as passing. Details below. Sorry for the inconvenience!

🐛 Fixes

• #3226: Do not swallow errors that are thrown asynchronously from passing tests (@boneskull). Example:

  it('should actually fail, sorry!', function (done) {
    // passing assertion
    assert(true === true);
  // test complete & is marked as passing
  done();
  // ...but something evil lurks within
  setTimeout(() => {
  throw new Error('chaos!');
  }, 100);
  });

  Previously to this version, Mocha would have silently swallowed the chaos! exception, and you wouldn't know. Well, now you know. Mocha cannot recover from this gracefully, so it will exit with a nonzero code.

  Maintainers of external reporters: If a test of this class is encountered, the Runner instance will emit the end event twice; you may need to change your reporter to use runner.once('end') intead of runner.on('end').
