Jasmine Core 7.0.0-pre.0 Release Notes

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

Before installing this release, update to 6.0.1 or later and fix all deprecation warnings.

Breaking changes

HtmlReporter, HtmlSpecFilter, and jsApiReporter, which were deprecated in 6.0, have been removed.
Most private APIs are no longer exposed.
Monkey patching is blocked. This does not affect globals (describe, expect, etc.) or properties that are explicitly documented as writeable. Those can still be overwritten.
Redesigned boot process:
- jasmineRequire, boot, and noGlobals have been removed.
- The core instance is automatically created.
- In browsers, globals are automatically created.
- In Node, globals are not automatically created. Call the exported installGlobals function to create them. If you're using the jasmine package, this is done for you by default.
- In Node, the same instance is returned every time jasmine-core is imported. If you need to do multiple consecutive independent test runs, call the exported reset function to reset all state and configuration between runs.
If you maintain your own browser boot files, you may be able to update by just removing boot1.js. See the boot.js file in this package for a working example. If you boot jasmine-core in Node, remove the call to boot or noGlobals and add a call to installGlobals if desired:
javascript
```
const jasmineCore = require('jasmine-core');
jasmineCore.installGlobals();
```
