✨ v6.0.0 ✨

[Salakar]

Hey everybody 💛

Super excited to announce that we're just over halfway through our v5 -> v6 migration + overhaul, and; there are so many great things there already for you to try out. We say this every time but really; this is our 'largest release yet' x💯

So please 🙏 check out the changelog and if all the Firebase services that you use are already listed there then you are good to migrate to the new individual npm packages. They are only released as patch versions for now until all packages are ready - at which point they'll be published as v6.0.0 - I'd recommend locking your package versions until this time.

Instructions can be found on the changelog. Please bare with us well we work towards v6, you have not been forgotten.

I will update this issue with currently being worked on modules and modules next in line, so subscribe to be notified of that and other announcements.

This is a good news @Salakar !
I have two questions:

1. why are Authentication and Cloud Firestore services missing in the changelog despite being available in npm?
2. what is the release estimation for the Cloud Messaging service?

[Salakar]

@paolospag hey, sure;

1. they're just placeholder packages, changelog is the source of truth on what is available
2. it's last in line just because of it's size and didn't want to hold up the others too much, can't give an ETA on that yet because of that and that I need to scope out how far to go with it change and feature wise - might make an issue to discuss that in a few days

[paolospag]

Thanks for clarifying.
So, what is the ETA for Authentication and Cloud Firestore?

So, what is the ETA for Authentication and Cloud Firestore?

These are being worked alongside the other modules in a separate change list. Can't give you an ETA right now but they're definitely in progress 🙃

Hi! It's a great work! Waiting for a RC :)

I would like to know when it is planned to migrate remote push notification?

[Salakar]

@loga4 it's last on the list just because it needs the most attention and I didn't want to hold up all the other modules because of it
