Nuxt 2.16.0 is the first minor release since Feb 15, 2021. The focus is mostly on releasing the latest fixes and enhancements that have been present in nuxt-edge for some time.

✨ Highlights

• upgrade to PostCSS 8
• default to core-js v3
• ... full details below

⚠️ Breaking changes

• In this PR we only support Node 14+. This is mostly an issue for dependencies, which we need to keep updated for security reasons. Going forward until its own EOL, Nuxt 2 will only officially support Node versions that have not reached their EOL.

• New postcss options format. See https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/9671 for full details.

• Dependency upgrades. A number of dependencies have dropped support for earlier node versions. dotenv has changed how it parses .env files in a number of edge cases. glob now requires / instead of \ on windows machines. There may also be other changes that affect your usage, so please do upgrade with care.

• Vue 2.7 upgrade. Although you can use Vue 2.7 with any release of Nuxt 2, 2.16.0 for the first time includes it as a dependency, which means that you may well encounter some issues associated with upgrading Vue 2.6 -> Vue 2.7.

  This may be a good time to consider using the composition API utilities provided by https://github.com/nuxt/bridge instead, which mirror Nuxt 3's more precisely than @nuxtjs/composition-api. (You can opt-in to just these utilities by disabling the other bridge modules individually.)
