👋 **[Support Styleguidist](https://opencollective.com/styleguidist) on Open Collective** 👋

## Breaking changes

### Node 6 is the lowest supported version

Styleguidist doesn’t support Node 4 anymore.

(#744 #839 by @kohgpat)

### New format of template option

We’re now using [mini-html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/styleguidist/mini-html-webpack-plugin) and [@vxna/mini-html-webpack-template](https://github.com/vxna/mini-html-webpack-template) instead of [html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin).

This will make things like [adding a favicon](https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/cookbook#how-to-add-a-favicon) or fonts from [Google Fonts](https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/cookbook#how-to-add-fonts-from-google-fonts) much easier.

If you’re using a custom HTML template, you need to update your style guide config.

```js
// 6.x
module.exports = {
  template: './styleguie/template.html'
}

// 7.x
module.exports = {
  template: {
    // This is just an example, there are many more available options
    favicon: 'https://assets-cdn.github.com/favicon.ico'
  }
}
```

See more [in the docs](https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/configuration#template).

### Changed Node API

`server` method now returns an object containing a webpack `Compiler` instance and the Styleguidist server, see examples [in the docs](https://react-styleguidist.js.org/docs/api.html#servercallback).

## New features

### Webpack 4 support

Webpack 3 is still supported too.

(#857 by @kontrollanten, #900 #901 by @rubenmoya)

### Examples are wrapped in React.Fragment

You don’t need to wrap multiple JSX tags in a div anymore.

```jsx
// 6.x
<div>
  <Button primary>Primary button</Button>
  <Button secondary>Secondary button</Button>
</div>

// 7.x
<Button primary>Primary button</Button>
<Button secondary>Secondary button</Button>
```
