# [7.0.0](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/compare/v6.1.1...v7.0.0) (2020-02-28)

### Bug Fixes

* **build:** split the gruntfile to enable running the build separately ([c487b18](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/c487b181179274a3e6f25c3a599561835c21acfd))
* **dependencies:** bumped to the latest version of several packages ([f03ef4b](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/f03ef4b1b3075695c15ae839942f52dfd0462202))

### Build System

* **node-version:** dropped support for node v8, which has reached EOL ([14b6b44](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/14b6b44c35def0f80765a033f5e15fb3db66e163))

### chore

* **engines:** defined `engines` to match tested node versions ([6f0f108](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/6f0f108a9e555a500d5edf1490c7c0a73c1eaa1a))

### Code Refactoring

* limited the files included in the build to minimum required ([b59a7b3](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/b59a7b320d6cc443a2a346c52769c567f8a7a844))

### Continuous Integration

* **node-versions:** stopped building against unsupported node versions ([b36aa83](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/b36aa83d142d1fe5e94241579019eb5f435f7d22))
* **publish:** dropped bower support ([2915d6d](https://github.com/traverson/traverson/commit/2915d6dd1b8f00ad85a22e098bd888fe1dd4467f))

### BREAKING CHANGES

could break with this change
* **node-version:** node v8 has reached EOL and is no longer supported
* **engines:** the engines property now limits supported node versions to v8 and above
* **publish:** bower is being dropped as a supported platform
* **node-versions:** dropped support for end-of-life'ed versions of node
