[node-polyfill-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/Richienb/node-polyfill-webpack-plugin) provides these.

ℹ️ `.env.vault` extends the `.env` file format standard with a localized encrypted vault file. Package it securely with your production code deploys. It's cloud agnostic so that you can deploy your secrets anywhere – without [risky third-party integrations](https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/05/circleci-breach/).

### Changed

### Changed

- Minor README clarifications
- Development ONLY: updated devDependencies as recommended for development only security risks ([#658](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/pull/658))

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

### Added

- _Breaking:_ Backtick support 🎉 ([#615](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/pull/615))

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.)
