6.0.1

Major release - breaking changes

We’re pleased to announce a major update to @hebcal/core, our TypeScript implementation of perpetual Jewish Calendar with holidays, Shabbat and holiday candle lighting and havdalah times, Torah readings, and more. The library targets both browser-based JavaScript and server-side Node.js.

Version 6.0.0 is a breaking change with the follow changes

1. Removes support for CommonJS and Node.js 16.x (#647)

End-of-Life Date for Node.js 16 was September 2023. Node.js 18 end-of-life was April 2025.
Many library maintainers have dropped CommonJS support and shifted to ESM-only packages

2. ParshaEvent constructor change

ParshaEvent.constructor() now takes a single SedraResult argument.

Change this:

    const parsha = sedra.lookup(hdate);
    if (!parsha.chag) {
      const pe = new ParshaEvent(hdate, parsha.parsha, il, parsha.num);
    }

To this:

    const parsha = sedra.lookup(hdate);
    if (!parsha.chag) {
      const pe = new ParshaEvent(parsha);
    }

3. Removed all deprecated APIs from the 5.x series:

• Event.clone()
• HolidayEvent.clone()
• Sedra.get() – use Sedra.lookup().parsha
• Sedra.getString() – use new ParshaEvent(Sedra.lookup()).render()
• Sedra.isParsha() – use !Sedra.lookup().chag
• Locale.useLocale() – removed concept of global “active” locale
• Locale.getLocaleName() – removed concept of global “active” locale

Smaller changes:

• Add unit tests for a few uncovered public methods by @mjradwin in #610
• Bump many dependencies
• Bump quick-lru from 6.1.2 to 7.3.0 by @dependabot[bot] in #644
