cosmiconfig

The required version range is now ^22.18 || >=24.

Remove typescript in favor of Node's own type stripping. This means that TypeScript 7 projects are supported, but non-erasable type syntax like namespace or enum is unsupported.

JSON parsing uses the JSON.parse function directly. parse-json is no longer used for better error messages, since Node has improved theirs.

Added support for UTF-16 config files

Fixed a prototype chain issue that may happen when merging different config objects.

Fixed the project search strategy not correctly stopping at the package boundary.

Fixed a race condition where multiple instances existing simultaneously could cause cosmiconfig to fail to load TypeScript config files.

Fixed an issue on Windows where CWD being a short path (e.g. C:\Users\USERNA~1) would cause cosmiconfig to fail to load ESM config files.

Breaking change: This is the default value if you don't pass a stopDir option, which means that cosmiconfig no longer traverses directories by default, and instead just looks in the current working directory.

Meta config files (i.e. config.js and similar) are not looked for in the current working directory anymore. Instead, it looks in the .config subfolder.

When defining searchPlaces in a meta config file, the tool-defined searchPlaces are merged into this. Users may specify mergeSearchPlaces: false to disable this.

The none value means that cosmiconfig does not traverse any directories upwards.
