Ts-node: When will be the next release?

[cevek]

I really need custom transformers

We are having trouble with Chalk version ts-node is using, I noticed you guys updated it in package.json but have not cut a release yet. Hoping this version update will help... I was trying to install directly from master, but this doesn't do all of the magical npm publish, dist stuff.

npm i git://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node.git#master

npm ERR! path /my-project/node_modules/ts-node/dist/bin.js
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall chmod
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod '/my-project/node_modules/ts-node/dist/bin.js'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

See: https://github.com/chalk/chalk/issues/31

Based on our testing, it seems to be an issue with the Chalk version ts-node is using vs. the Chalk version the elasticsearch module is using, and only when we run ts-node+mocha for testing. It's a narsty one

Internally, it's looking for this modifier.close character in chalk and ansi-styles, which ends up being undefined, only when running ts-node and mocha.

If you’d like to help close the last few issues I’ll be able to release ASAP. The last blocker is the breaking change ensuring you can’t double register. There’s also a task to move away from the current approach to node spawned children, but I can probably cut a v4 now and put both of these into a v5 instead.

[stelcheck]

FWIW, I'd really love to see #458 or #419 be part of that release. The related issue has been outstanding for months now, and I think it would be nice to finally be done with it.

[blakeembrey]

@stelcheck Thanks for your PRs. I'm looking into it now.
