Ember 3.0 betas:

• Deprecation removal
• ember-2-legacy

[rwjblue]

Ember 3.0 Beta:

• Updated blueprints (for Add new QUnit testing API. rfcs#232 and Rethink Acceptance Testing rfcs#268). c
  • Can opt-in to new blueprints on older ember-source versions via ember-qunit-nested-module-blueprints-polyfill
  • Can run ember-qunit-codemod to migrate moduleForComponent, moduleFor, and moduleForModel.
  • Blog post with some additional info (primarily for Add new QUnit testing API. rfcs#232, but will likely do another post before release with Rethink Acceptance Testing rfcs#268 info): http://rwjblue.com/2017/10/23/ember-qunit-simplication/.

Ember CLI 2.18:

• #7385 Remove Node 7 support @kellyselden
• #6955 Discover dependencies of npm-linked addons @ef4
• #7419 Delete obsolete crossdomain.xml @sandstrom
• #7443 Use overrides for a single .eslintrc.js. @rwjblue
• #7455 Add eslint-plugin-ember to default linting config. @rwjblue

I guess the biggest user-facing change is the ESLint thing. We now only have a single .eslintrc.js file and that includes eslint-plugin-ember by default.

Ember CLI 3.0 does not have many changes yet. The most visible is for addon authors:

• #7479 Improve default addon README @Turbo87

Might need to add input transform to APIs removed

Ignore, Robert suggested we can leave this one below out
@locks we might want to add the following to the removed API list. Not sure:
Using Ember.Application.registry properties directly (this usage was private, but a migration path is available)

FYI I have rebased and force pushed this branch on master. I'd like to preview with the final styles and a bunch has changed on master. Please use fetch and reset to update your local branch.
