- Upgrade legacy-util to ~2.0.0.

v1.2.1 date: 2020-07-07 changes:

- Remove path-is-absolute dependency.
  (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1715)

v1.2.0 date: 2020-07-03 changes:

- Allow usage of grunt plugins that are located in any location that
  is visible to Node.js and NPM, instead of node_modules directly
  inside package that have a dev dependency to these plugins.
  (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1677)
- Removed coffeescript from dependencies. To ease transition, if
  coffeescript is still around, Grunt will attempt to load it.
  If it is not, and the user loads a CoffeeScript file,
  Grunt will print a useful error indicating that the
  coffeescript package should be installed as a dev dependency.
  This is considerably more user-friendly than dropping the require entirely,
  but doing so is feasible with the latest grunt-cli as users
  may simply use grunt --require coffeescript/register.
  (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1675)
- Exposes Grunt Option keys for ease of use.
  (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1570)
- Avoiding infinite loop on very long command names.
  (PR: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1697)

v1.0.0 date: 2016-04-04 changes:

- full list of changes is on http://gruntjs.com, please also see changes from 1.0.0-rc1.
- if you have a Grunt plugin that includes `grunt` in the `peerDependencies`,
  we recommend tagging with `"grunt": "">= 0.4.0"` and publishing a new version on npm.
- Prevent async callback from being called multiple times. Pull #1464.
- Update copyright to jQuery Foundation and remove redundant headers. Fixes #1478.
- Update glob to 7.0.x. Fixes #1467.
- Removing duplicate BOM strip code. Pull #1482.

v1.0.0-rc1 date: 2016-02-11 changes:

- full list of changes is on http://gruntjs.com
- if you have a Grunt plugin that includes `grunt` in the `peerDependencies`,
  we recommend tagging with `"grunt": "">= 0.4.0"`
- `coffee-script` is upgraded to `~1.10.0` which could incur breaking changes
  when using the language with plugins and Gruntfiles.
- `nopt` is upgraded to `~3.0.6` which has fixed many issues, including passing
  multiple arguments and dealing with numbers as options. Be aware previously
  `--foo bar` used to pass the value `'bar'` to the option `foo`. It will now
  set the option `foo` to `true` and run the task `bar`.
-`glob` is upgraded to `~6.0.4` and `minimatch` is upgraded to `~3.0.0`. Results
  are now sorted by default with `grunt.file.expandMapping()`. Pass the
  `nosort: true` option if you don't want the results to be sorted.
- `lodash` was upgraded to `~4.3.0`. Many changes have occurred. Some of which
  that directly effect Grunt are `grunt.util._.template()` returns a compile
  function and `grunt.util._.flatten` no longer flattens deeply.
  `grunt.util._` is deprecated and we highly encourage you to
  `npm install lodash` and `var _ = require('lodash')` to use `lodash`.
  Please see the lodash changelog for a full list of changes: https://github.com/lodash/lodash/wiki/Changelog
- `iconv-lite` is upgraded to `~0.4.13` and strips the BOM by default.
- `js-yaml` is upgraded to `~3.5.2` and may affect `grunt.file.readYAML`.
  We encourage you to please `npm install js-yaml` and use
  `var YAML = require('js-yaml')` directly in case of future deprecations.
- A file `mode` option can be passed into
  [grunt.file.write()](http://gruntjs.com/api/grunt.file#grunt.file.write).
- `Done, without errors.` was changed to `Done.` to avoid failing by mistake
  on the word `errors`.
