Compatibility

  • 0.11.x
  • 0.12.x
  • iojs (any)

  • IE8
  • PhantomJS 1.x
• #2615: Drop Bower support; old versions (3.x, etc.) will remain available (@ScottFreeCode, @boneskull)

Default Behavior

• #2879: By default, Mocha will no longer force the process to exit once all tests complete.

👎 Deprecations

• #2493: The --compilers command-line option is now soft-deprecated and will emit a warning on STDERR. Read this for more info and workarounds (@ScottFreeCode, @boneskull)

🎉 Enhancements

• #2628: Allow override of default test suite name in XUnit reporter (@ngeor)
