v6.0.0

modernize to ESM with Node.js 18+ and TypeScript support
BREAKING CHANGE: This release modernizes the package to current standards and introduces several breaking changes:

• Minimum Node.js version is now 18.0.0 (previously 12+)
• Package is now ESM-only, CommonJS (require()) is no longer supported
• All imports must use ESM syntax (import instead of require)
• CLI preload flag changed from -r to --import
• Converted entire codebase from CommonJS to ES Modules

New features:

• Full TypeScript support with included .d.ts files (no build step required)
• Comprehensive JSDoc type annotations for better IDE support
• Modern package exports for better import resolution
• Updated dependencies to latest versions (dotenv ^16.4.7, jest ^29.7.0, standard ^17.1.2)
• GitHub Actions workflow updated to test Node 18, 20, and 22

Migration guide included in MIGRATION.md for users upgrading from v2.x.

Users must update their code from:

require('dotenv-defaults/config')

To:

import 'dotenv-defaults/config'
