v3.0.0-pre

This is a pre release.

npm install node-sass@3.0.0-alpha.0     # (updated)

Breaking Changes:

• Dropped method-style callback in favour of node-style option: (suggested by @sindresorhus; #676)
  Implemented by: @jakobo

  Old:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */,
     success: function (result) { },
     error: function (err) { }
    });

  New:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */
    }, function (err, result) { });

• API returns Buffer output as opposed to String. (suggested by @joliss #711)

  Old:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */,
      success: function(result) {
        assert(typeof result.css === 'string');
        assert(typeof result.map === 'string');
      }
    });

  New:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */
    }, function (err, result) {
      if (err) {
        return myErrorHandler(err);
      }
  
      assert(result.css instanceof Buffer);
      assert(result.map instanceof Buffer);
    });

• Retired image path options. (driven by the change in libsass #702)

• CLI now throws output to stdout, when no output file/directory is specified. (suggested by @xzyfer #669)

• The input, output and map paths are resolved against current-working-directory before passing to libsass. This fixes the issues with invalid paths in source-maps. (issue reported by @itsnydell: #731)

Enhancements

• Now this.options is available in importer and render callbacks. Implemented by @jakobo via #686 . Also, see the related issue: #674.

• Made API throw Error object instead of Strings: (suggested by @sindresorhus; #675)

  Old:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */,
      error: function(err) {
        assert(typeof err === 'string');
    });

  New:

    require('node-sass').render({
      /* options */
    }, function (err, result) {
      if (err) {
        assert(err instanceof Error);
      }
    });

• Ignore test directory from package. (suggested by @dcbarans: #683)

Infrastructure:

• Better support for io.js rapid release cycle. (suggested by @xzyfer #694).
• Binaries downloadable from custom URL.(suggested by @johnrc #720).
• Binaries are now uploaded as release assets, which used to be hosted via node-sass-binaries repo release.(suggested by @nschonni #712).
