# Changelog

## 4.0.0

- Licensing improvement: updated `parse-json` from `3.0.0` to `4.0.0`(see [sindresorhus/parse-json#12][parse-json-pr-12]).
- Changed: error message format for `JSON` parse errors(see [#101][pr-101]). If you were relying on the format of JSON-parsing error messages, this will be a breaking change for you.
- Changed: set default for `searchPath` as `process.cwd()` in `explorer.load`.

## 3.1.0

- Added: infer format based on filePath

## 3.0.1

- Fixed: memory leak due to bug in `require-from-string`.
- Added: for JSON files, append position to end of error message.

## 3.0.0

- Removed: support for loading config path using the `--config` flag. cosmiconfig will not parse command line arguments. Your application can parse command line arguments and pass them to cosmiconfig.
- Removed: `argv` config option.
- Removed: support for Node versions < 4.
- Added: `sync` option.
- Fixed: Throw a clear error on getting empty config file.
- Fixed: when a `options.configPath` is `package.json`, return the package prop, not the entire JSON file.

## 2.2.2

- Fixed: `options.configPath` and `--config` flag are respected.

## 2.2.0, 2.2.1

- 2.2.0 included a number of improvements but somehow broke stylelint. The changes were reverted in 2.2.1, to be restored later.

## 2.1.3

- Licensing improvement: switched from `json-parse-helpfulerror` to `parse-json`.

## 2.1.2

- Fixed: bug where an `ENOENT` error would be thrown is `searchPath` referenced a non-existent file.
- Fixed: JSON parsing errors in Node v7.

## 2.1.1

- Fixed: swapped `graceful-fs` for regular `fs`, fixing a garbage collection problem.

## 2.1.0
