Version 16.0.0

Major

• Updated Node.js support to ^18.17.0 || >=20.4.0.
• Updated dev dependencies, some of which require newer Node.js versions than previously supported.
• Use the Node.js test runner API and remove the dev dependency test-director.
• Refactored tests to no longer polyfill the standard AbortController, AbortSignal, Event, EventTarget, and performance APIs available in modern Node.js and removed the dev dependencies abort-controller and event-target-shim.

Patch

• Updated the next peer dependency to 12 - 14, fixing #7.
• Updated dependencies.
• Updated the package.json field repository to conform to new npm requirements.
• Integrated the ESLint plugin eslint-plugin-optimal-modules.
• Updated GitHub Actions CI config:
  • The workflow still triggers on push, but no longer on pull request.
  • The workflow can now be manually triggered.
  • Run tests with Node.js v18, v20, v21.
  • Updated actions/checkout to v4.
  • Updated actions/setup-node to v4.
• Improved the types for test fixture Next.js config.
• For the function withGraphQLReact tests:
  • Temporarily disabled the tests for Node.js v18 due to the Node.js test runner bug nodejs/node#48845 that will be fixed in a future Node.js v18 release.
  • Use the new Puppeteer headless mode.
  • For the client side page load test:
    • Attempt to wait until the JS has loaded and the React app has mounted before clicking the navigation link.
    • Simulate fast 3G network conditions to ensure GraphQL query loading state can render and be asserted.
  • Migrated use of the deprecated Next.js CLI next export to the new Next.js static export API.
  • Removed an apparently no longer necessary workaround that forced the process to exit after tests; older Next.js used to stay running after closing it’s server.
• Fixed bugs in the test helper function startNext.
• Added tests for the internal function cjsDefaultImport.
• Updated link URLs in the readme.
