dotenv-flow 4.0.0-rc.2 on Node.js NPM

✨ New Features

options.pattern - is a new configuration option that allows customizing the default .env* files' naming convention. The default value of the pattern is .env[.node_env][.local] as of the current default naming convention (see PR #71 for more details).
options.debug - is another new configuration option that if enabled, turns on dotenv-flow debug messaging (PR #76).
"In package" type definitions (.d.ts files) for better support of typescript and improved code completion (PR: #77).
.config() method is now returning an .error if none of the appropriate .env* files is present (PR: #70).
dotenv has been updated to v16.0.0 which adds support of multiline values, inline comments, and backticks in .env* files (by @aymericbouzy in #54).

"In package" type definitions (.d.ts files) replace the "Definitely Typed" @types/dotenv-flow package but might be conflicting. If you have @types/dotenv-flow typings package in your package.json dependencies, please make sure to remove it once you upgrade dotenv-flow to v4 or above.
.config() method is now returning an .error if none of the appropriate .env* files is present (PR: #70).
Previously deprecated options.cwd has been removed, please use options.path instead (PR: #72).
The exposed internal API method .listDotenvFiles(dirname, options) has been replaced with .listFiles(options). If you're using the method, please replace it with the new one. It receives optional options.path, options.node_env, and options.pattern and returns a list of existing .env* files (PR: #75).
Updating dotenv brings multiline values, inline comments, and backticks support. Please check the contents of your .env* files and make sure that all the # and backtick symbols are properly quoted if they are part of the value.
Dropped Node.js versions support prior to v12.
