# CHANGELOG

## Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. See [standard-version](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version) for commit guidelines.

### [Unreleased](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/compare/v16.0.0...master)

### [16.0.0](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/compare/v15.0.1...v16.0.0) (2022-02-02)

#### Added

* *Breaking:* Backtick support 🎉 (template literals). If you had values containing the backtick character, please quote those values with either single or double quotes.

### [15.0.1](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/compare/v15.0.0...v15.0.1) (2022-02-02)

#### Changed

* Properly parse empty single or double quoted values 🐞 ([#614](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/pull/614))

### [15.0.0](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/compare/v14.3.2...v15.0.0) (2022-01-31)

`v15.0.0` is a major new release with some important breaking changes.

#### Added

* *Breaking:* Multiline parsing support (just works. no need for the flag.)

#### Changed

* *Breaking:* `#` marks the beginning of a comment (UNLESS the value is wrapped in quotes. Please update your `.env` files to wrap in quotes any values containing `#`. For example: `SECRET_HASH="something-with-a-#-hash"`).

..Understandably, (as some teams have noted) this is tedious to do across the entire team. To make it less tedious, we recommend using [dotenv cli](https://github.com/dotenv-org/cli) going forward. It's an optional plugin that will keep your `.env` files in sync between machines, environments, or team members.

#### Removed

* *Breaking:* Remove multiline option (just works out of the box now. no need for the flag.)
