Grunt 1.2.0 released

Posted on July 03, 2020

The Grunt team is pleased to announce the release of Grunt 1.2.0.

This release is made possible by @vladikoff and contributors:

and more!

Here are the changes:

Allow usage of grunt plugins that are located in any location that is visible to Node.js and NPM, instead of node_modules directly inside package that have a dev dependency to these plugins. (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1677)
Removed coffeescript from dependencies. To ease transition, if coffeescript is still around, Grunt will attempt to load it. If it is not, and the user loads a CoffeeScript file, Grunt will print a useful error indicating that the coffeescript package should be installed as a dev dependency. This is considerably more user-friendly than dropping the require entirely, but doing so is feasible with the latest grunt-cli as users may simply use grunt --require coffeescript/register. (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1675)
Exposes Grunt Option keys for ease of use. (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1570)
Avoiding infinite loop on very long command names. (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1697)
Dependency updates are also included.

You can find Grunt on npm and GitHub.
