2.0.0

v2 is a completely new version of mocha-parallel-tests rewritten in TypeScript from scratch. Its main focus is to simplify parallel run of mocha tests: while previously they were executed in one single process now each file is executed in a separate process.

Some of the main changes are:

• breaking change: each file is now executed in a separate process
• breaking change: minimum supported node version is 8 because it's current LTS and because of performance reasons
• breaking change: main exported file should now be imported as require("mocha-parallel-tests").default if you're using CommonJS modules
• breaking change: --retry is not supported anymore: mocha-parallel-tests main target is to be 100%-compliant with mocha in terms of API and to not introduce its own options and APIs other than --max-parallel
• breaking change: reporter output/stats now contains one more level for each file
• change: --max-parallel option is os.cpus().length by default. You can also specify it manually or set it to 0 which means "immediately launch as many processes as the number of files"
• new: --delay option is now supported for each subprocess
• new: --retries option is now supported for each subprocess
• new: supported peerDependencies versions of mocha are not 3, 4 and 5
• new: all tests are now executed against all supported mocha versions
• new: mocha-parallel-tests install should work fine on windows
• new: TypeScript definitions are now provided in package.json
