can't load v0.4.0

[msridhar]

Our rewriting-proxy project depends on html5. When doing a fresh install today, which pulled v0.4.0 of html5 from npm, even the following simple code doesn't work:

var HTML5 = require('html5');

The package.json just has:

    "dependencies" : {
    "html5": "*"
    }

When I run the above code, I get:

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'html5'

Asssuming this is in fact a bug, can it be fixed soon and a new version pushed to the npm registry? If not, we'll have to push a new version of our package that depends on 0.3.x. Thanks!

Well, if you depend on 0.3.x, depend on 0.3.x! The version was bumped because there's potentially breaking changes!

[aredridel]

Also, getting that error shows that something went wrong earlier in the install process.

I'd love to know if your code breaks on 0.4.x, but '*' dependencies are wrong, always. 0.x is unstable anyway, but in general, you can't depend on it that way and have it stay working. HTML5 is a semver module.

[aredridel]

Let me know if you need me to dive in further; I'll reclose this if I don't hear back later.

[aredridel]

Oh! The main entry point was moved in that last merge. There's a new entry point, but it's definitely not backward compatible. You'll need to fix your deps against 0.3.x if you want to keep that interface.

[msridhar]

Hi, we'll fix our dependence at 0.3.x for now then, thanks! I'll also look into how the interface has changed.

[aredridel]

Awesome. And thanks for the heads up that v0.4.0 was missing its main entry point. Total doh moment there.
