This discussion was created from the release v5.0.1.

[novemberborn]

For the changelog since 5.0.0 see v5.0.0...v5.0.1. Mainly, the type definition should be compatible with all the myriad ways you can configure TypeScript to resolve and output modules.

I'll again leave this under the next tag for a little while.
