v2.3.2

This fixes an issue with auto installing node builtins where the npm package has the same name as the node builtin itself. See #7697.

v2.3.1

Followup release to v2.3.0 to improve the error message shown when auto install is disabled (e.g. in CI environments) and a node polyfill is needed. This may occur for example when using automated dependency upgrade bots like renovate/dependabot.

This also fixes a bug where auto install did not work correctly in some cases, and pins all parcel dependency versions so that it is easier to pin parcel to a specific version in your project.

v2.3.0

This release reduces the number of npm dependencies needed by Parcel by over 60%. This builds upon previous work in 2.2.0, so combined Parcel now installs over 70% fewer dependencies! This is accomplished by:

• Pre-bundling some dependencies with Parcel itself rather than loading them from npm. This is done for packages that are small and internal to Parcel (i.e. you don't interact with them directly in your project). This reduces maintenance burden for users of Parcel.
• Auto installing node builtin polyfills on demand (e.g. buffer, stream, etc.). These are rarely used but account for a large number of installed dependencies. Now, when you use one of these, or a dependency in your project does, it'll be installed into your project on demand.
• Removing built-in Babel and PostCSS modules dependencies, and installing them into projects on demand, only when actually used.

We will continue reducing Parcel's footprint in future releases by further reducing our use of dependency-heavy ecosystems such as PostCSS as we replace them with Rust-based equivalents.
