##1.3.0

  • Added https option to allow localhost development with SSL. Thanks to @PaulKinlan (only available for the built-in server for now. Proxy & Tunnel support coming soon)

  • Fixed a bug that caused an error with browser-sync init
  • Added watchOptions option that allows configuration to be passed along to Gaze (such as debounceDelay, etc) - thanks to @mbranch
  • Changed the open option - users can now choose whether to auto open localhost/external/tunnel url automatically
