Next steps

• triage all the PRs with the label v2.x and decide about them
  • https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1327
• Check the issues and decide if we need to add additional patches
  • https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1132
  • https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/779
  • https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1111
    • https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/429 (Maybe solution?)

3.0.0-alpha.1

Based on https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1313#issuecomment-2901346950 we can just release 2.0.0-rc.4 as 3.0.0-alpha.1 to unblock the situation

Backlog

• https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1320
• Release on npm (don't tag as latest) (@UlisesGascon )
• deprecate on npm 2.0.0-* versions (keep 2.0.0 as latest) (@UlisesGascon )

3.0.0

Releasing a new version and dropping support for older Node.js is now necessary for this module. Here's the list of remaining tasks to launch v3 (prev: v2.0.0-rc*), given that @LinusU has already done most of the work (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/399):

• Cherry pick relevant stuff from v2 line like CI pipelines, docs...
• Move the package from ESM to CommonJS (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1304).
• Verify AsyncLocalStorage (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/issues/1111)
• Align Node.js support with Express v5 (https://github.com/expressjs/multer/pull/1303)
• Update dependencies:
  • @fastify/busboy
  • append-field v2 -> v1 (For CommonJS support)

This is a draft of what I’ve seen is missing to release v3. @LinusU, do you have anything else pending?
