Cannot use 1.3.0 with Node.js in ES6 mode - missing `type: module` in `package.json`

[Momtchil Momtchev]

package.json:

{
  "type": "module",
  "dependencies": {
    "web-worker": "^1.3.0"
  }
}

test.js:

import WebWorker from 'web-worker';

node test.js:

(node:18927) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

import URL from 'url';

Node.js v18.19.0

Also experienced this. It's unclear to me whether this is a bug in 1.3.0 or a purposeful change, however if the latter is true then this should have been a new major version. The 1.3.0 release breaks projects that pinned earlier 1.x releases in package.json, which should not happen.

For what it's worth, I fixed this by adding "web-worker": "1.2.0" to the resolutions section in my package.json. The changes for 1.3.0 are pretty minor, the changes made to the package.json in that version to try and make the cross-module support smarter is what screwed up.
