chokidar won't glob symlinks while gaze did

[thetrevdev]

Thought it would be worthwhile pointing out that chokidar won't glob symlinks while gaze did.

paulmillr/chokidar#419
paulmillr/chokidar#530

If I have the paths:

origin
symlink-to-origin -> ./origin

I can watch ./symlink-to-origin/* but I can't watch ./symlink-*/*

As you linked, it's a chokidar problem. Please bring it up with them.

[thetrevdev]

As you can see in the links above this has been an open issue for 9 months in chokidar.
I thought it was valuable to point out that by changing the libraries you depend on you have broken some use cases that worked previously.
Apparently you don't think that is valuable to draw attention to.

That's the reason for a semver major release. Things get changed, possibly removed.
