Feature tracking for Next major release (v6) 🚀

[GreenImp]

V6 is currently in development, and this discussion thread is being used to track development. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment!

The biggest change is probably that the source files have been converted to Typescript. There's still a lot of work required to tidy it all up, but it's functionality complete.

Done

• Converts code base to Typescript
• Moves compiled files from /lib to /dist directory (Probably won't affect anyone, due to exports in the packages.json)
• Moves TS definition files from /types to /dist/types. Might not affect anyone due to types in the packages.json
• Adds fix() / trunc() method (For rounding towards zero) (See [Feature request]: Enable rounding to zero #301 and Feature/301 enable rounding to zero #302)
• Renames DescriptionType.MultiLine to DescriptionType.Block
• Moves exportFormats utility object to ExportFormat enum - this also changes capitalisation of properties
• Uses enums instead of utility objects or class properties

Todo

• Update documentation (See Update documentation for v6 documentation#67)
• Re-consider class names / structure etc. (See Re-consider class names / structure / functionality #306)
• Build output plugin functionality (See Split output to separate module / library #132)
• Support inline rolls (See Inline rolls #206)
• Support arbitrarily sided dice (See Support arbitarily sided dice #239)
• Support ternary operator (See Support ternary operator #240)
• Add dice rolled to results object (See Include die type (ie: d20) in the RollResult json output #242 and [Feature request]: Individual dice results with face in output #292 and Is there a way to get dice details or parser info as part of results? #298)
• Fix importing rolls (See [Bug]: Importing Group Rolls throws an error #289)
• Fix average total with modifiers (See [Bug]: "averageTotal" for "Keep" modifiers calculates incorrectly #293)
• Update min node version to current LTS at release (Probably v20)
• Script to delete old grammar file due to .js -> .ts change
• Decide if we care about restricting the number of arguments on math functions?
• Potentially drop support for use in browser using CDN or similar
• Decide whether to remove third party libraries (eg. Math JS) from compiled scripts
• Go through existing bug tickets and see what can be fixed / resolved
• Update dock blocks
• Ensure doc block parsing still works / checks what can be removed from doc blocks (Now we have TS) (See [Task]: Make API doc compiling work with Typescript files #305)
