Drop dependency on deprecated gulp-util

[TheDancingCode]

gulp-util has been deprecated recently. Continuing to use this dependency may prevent the use of your library with the recently released version 4 of Gulp, it is important to replace gulp-util.

Your package is popular but still relying on gulp-util, it would be good to publish a fixed version to npm as soon as possible.

@doctyper any word on getting this merged? Also, through2 should be updated (it's super out of date)

[TheDancingCode]

@phated I added an update of through2. As for getting it merged, it's only been 2 hours.

[rejas]

Tracking of gulp-util migration is done here: gulpjs/gulp-util#143

[rejas]

Using the branch of this PR solves also #45
So I am totally for merging it sooner than later.

[rejas]

@doctyper are you still maintining this or can I help you out here?

[doctyper]

@rejas Thank you for volunteering. I am not actively maintaining this project, no. I've added you as a contributor.

Let me know if you'd like ownership of this repository and I can transfer it over.

[rejas]

Thx for the info. I wouldnt mind maintaining it so feel free to transfer it

[doctyper]

@rejas All set. Thanks again.

[rejas]

@doctyper Thanks to you too! Any idea if you have to transfer the npm entry too: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-modernizr ? Or does that happen automatically too? Got the same username there in case.

[doctyper]

👍 Added you as an owner

Be sure to publish as a major change

[rejas]

I am wondering if publishing as "1.0.0" would be enough. Currently its 1.0.0-alpha. Would that trigger it or do I need to go v2 already?

[phated]

@rejas that's a tricky thing. npm has never been good at handling semver with prerelease versions (I think the behavior has changed between npm versions) - this is why the gulp 4 alphas were never published to npm - so it might be best to just bump to 2.0.0

[doctyper]

I've never had an issue bumping alpha versions. 1.0.0 should be fine.

[rejas]

@phated thx for the input, will do a v2 release of the develop branch. probably also will release the old master as v1.0.0 without the alpha tag to end that line.

[phated]

@doctyper it's not a problem of bumping - the problem stems from people potentially receiving breaking changes due to using a semver range on a prerelease.
