Non-Breaking Changes

• Each module member is now output to its own file by default. See --outputFileStrategy. To achieve the same output as v3 (whereby only Classes, Enums and Interfaces have their own file), set the membersWithOwnFile option.
• Parameters are output as a list by default. To achieve the same output as v3 (where parameters are output as a table), use the table key of --parametersFormat.
• Comment @ tags are now displayed as headings.

Breaking Changes

• The output file structure has changed so you may need to update any cross references into your docs from external sources.
• Setting theme to "markdown" is not required and should be removed.
• The option indexTitle has been removed. Please use the "title.indexPage" key with --textContentMappings.
• The option allReflectionsHaveOwnDocument has been removed (this behaviour is now the default). Please see See --outputFileStrategy.
• The option entryDocument has been renamed to --entryFileName to better reflect its purpose.
• The option namedAnchors has been renamed to --useHTMLAnchors to better reflect its purpose.
• The option hideInPageTOC has been removed. In-page TOC are no longer included by default. You can include in-page TOCs by using typedoc-plugin-remark and the remark-toc plugin.
• The option objectLiteralTypeDeclarationStyle has been removed. Please use the list key of --typeDeclarationFormat.
