BREAKING CHANGE: @appium/base-driver no longer exports statusCodes or getSummaryByCode (the jsonwp-status module was removed).
BREAKING CHANGE: errorFromMJSONWPStatusCode (aliased as errorFromCode) has been removed; use errorFromW3CJsonCode for W3C error-signature mapping.
BREAKING CHANGE: ProtocolError instances no longer have a jsonwpCode property.
BREAKING CHANGE: WebDriverProxy (formerly JWProxy) no longer proxies to or interprets responses from downstream servers speaking the legacy MJSONWP protocol; the ProtocolConverter class, COMMAND_URLS_CONFLICTS, and the downstreamProtocol getter/setter have been removed. Downstream automation servers must speak W3C WebDriver.
BREAKING CHANGE: Responses no longer duplicate element references under the legacy ELEMENT key; only the W3C element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf key is present. The MJSONWP_ELEMENT_KEY constant has been removed.
BREAKING CHANGE: determineProtocol has been removed, and drivers can no longer produce the legacy {sessionId, status, value} response shape; all responses are now W3C-shaped regardless of how the client formatted its createSession capabilities.
BREAKING CHANGE: DriverCore#setProtocolMJSONWP() has been removed.
BREAKING CHANGE: The deprecated JWProxy export has been removed; use WebDriverProxy instead. Its source also moved from lib/jsonwp-proxy/proxy.js to lib/wd-proxy/proxy.js.
BREAKING CHANGE: DriverCore#isMjsonwpProtocol() has been removed.
BREAKING CHANGE: @appium/execute-driver-plugin is now an ESM-only package. It can no longer be loaded via CommonJS require(); consumers must use import or dynamic import(). Deep imports into the package's internals are no longer possible — only the public entry point is exposed via exports.
BREAKING CHANGE: The forked child process (execute-child.js) now runs as ESM as well, since it inherits "type": "module" from the package's package.json.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Promise` object in the script context now matches the global `Promise` object instead of `bluebird`. Methods specific to `bluebird` are no longer supported.
yeah this is my bad. if we really need the history I can redo this.
no significant changes; just the usual stuff about builds and types.
bonus: I figured out how to get webdriverio types working
