Target Node 24 and replace fast-glob with fs.glob

5.0.0 (2025-12-13)

We have removed the usage of npm package fast-glob in favor of inbuilt fs.glob method that is part of the Node.js platform. Since, most of the Japa projects uses standard glob expressions, this change wouldn't cause any issues. However, if you were using advanced glob expressions that aren't supported by Node, then feel free to create an issue

Features

• remove fast-glob package in favor of Node.js fs.glob f70c3e0

BREAKING CHANGES

• The globs support behavior may different. However, we expect most Japa
  projects to use standard glob expressions and must work without any issues
