Jasmine Core 6.0.0-beta.0 Release Notes

This is a pre-release, intended to offer a preview of upcoming changes and to solicit feedback.

A Note About Pre-Release Compatibility

There may be additional breaking changes in future 6.0 pre-releases or in the final 6.0 release. That's allowed by the semver specification, but users are sometimes unpleasantly surprised by it.

NPM's implementation of carat version ranges assumes that subsequent pre-releases and final releases are fully compatible with earlier pre-releases. If your package.json contains "jasmine-core": "^6.0.0-beta.0, NPM might install any later 6.x version even though there is no guarantee of compatibility. If that isn't ok, you should specify an exact pre-release version: "jasmine-core": "6.0.0-beta.0.

Breaking changes

HtmlReporterV2 initialization and boot1.js have been simplified. If you maintain your own boot file, update it to match the boot1.js included in this package.
