v5.0.0

Despite the major version bump this is a relatively minor release. Node.js 12 is no longer supported. The type definitions are now distributed to be compatible with TypeScript 4.7 or newer.

It's available as a pre-release under the next tag for the next few weeks:

npm install --save-dev ava@next
