Additional Work

• #10217
• #10178
• #10186
• Stop using ember-cli-babel's configKey property
  • Not necessary anymore to use this property, we can just hardcode 'ember-cli-babel' where needed (more info: emberjs/ember-cli-babel#105)
• Drop support for ember-cli-babel v6 and lower
  • We have a few checks for ember-cli-babel v6 and lower, I think it's safe to remove these
• Drop support for the EMBER_CLI_IGNORE_ADDON_NAME_MISMATCH env var
  • This env var suppresses this error, the env var was supposed to be removed in ember-cli v3.10, making sure the error is always thrown - #10225
• Drop support for finding addons by their index.js name, at the moment, we just warn - #10223
  • We already removed support for finding scoped addons using their unscoped name here
• Drop support for the following vendor files:
  • ember-cli-shims - not necessary anymore
  • ember.paths.shims - does not exist anymore
  • All vendor files coming in via Bower, as Bower support will be dropped
    • #10217
    • #10218
  • jquery.js - ember-source does not provide ember.paths.jquery anymore and Bower support will be dropped - #10195
• #10229
• Drop support for NPM v5.7.1 and lower here - #10219
• Remove ember-cli-babel fallback - Require v1 addons to always specify ember-cli-babel in their dependencies - #10232
• Always throw on invalid addon paths (remove EMBER_CLI_ERROR_ON_INVALID_ADDON env flag) - #10185
• Remove default minifyJS options - #10197

Additional Checks

• Make sure all Bower related code is cleaned up (including dependencies) - #10226
• Make sure all JSHint related code is cleaned up (test files as well)
• Make sure all until 5.0 deprecations have deprecation guides - ember-learn/deprecation-app#1314

Documentation

TODO.

[Pheromon]

Will you raise minimum required node version to 18, since it's a LTS release?

[Bert De Block]

ember-cli v5 will still support Node v16, also v5 will not be an LTS version if I'm not mistaken.

[Bert De Block]

since it's a LTS release?

Or do you mean that Node v18 is an LTS release?

[Pheromon]

yes I was talking about node LTS, and if ember-cli v5 is not LTS then you are right: there is not such need to raise the minimum supported versions
