- Lot of people couldn't migrate to v1 and plan to reevaluate when v2 is
released.
- It's "npm" not "NPM". It doesn't stand for anything, and it never
has - it was initially chosen simply because it was easy to type.
It has a lot of unofficial backronyms with "Node Package Manager"
being one of the most common ones, but it's never officially stood
for anything as an acronym *or* initialism.
- Fixed a few errors in the change log, like non-breaking changes being
included in the "Breaking Changes" section and an inaccuracy in the
summary of a particular change.
- Fixed RawGit URLs to point to GitHack, which is a lighter proxy that
offloads caching to Cloudflare instead of also implementing it itself.
(It also just uses nginx for all the important server logic, so it
scales better.)
- Add a few more v0.2 references as appropriate
- Babel 7 has a whole different module API
- Traceur is basically dead
- JSX != HTML
- Some bits are just obvious from context what they are
- ES6 docs shouldn't be auto-installing JSX support
- Also, I decided it was worth clearing up some misleading docs in
surrounding areas.
This should help point users to the correct version if they plan to
install the release candidate, and it should help users find the
existing docs for v1.
Technically, Bower isn't really a package manager for Node.js, but rather, it's made in Node and built for usage in the frontend, hence why many popular frontend libraries, such as JQuery or Bootstrap have their distributions on there. Bower also has its own package repositories.
