v3.0.0

breaking changes

• Build toolchain change, for installation improvements

  • The build process is now based on node-gyp and prebuildify, instead of CMake and prebuild.
  • CMake installation is no longer required, Python is used instead

• Installation improvements

  • Pre-built binaries for supported platforms are now bundled in node-rfc package and downloaded from npm, together with node-rfc, during npm install.
