# Changelog

## 6.0.14

-   `BabelConfig.fetchBabelRc` / `static BabelConfig.default` / `static BabelConfig.generate` have all been deprecated. They are no longer used by Mix itself but remain for backwards compatability.
-   `MixDefinitionsPlugin.getDefinitions` and `static MixDefinitionsPlugin.build` have been deprecated. They are no longer used by Mix itself but remain for backwards compatability.
-   `static Chunks._instance` / `static Chunks.instance()` / `static Chunks.reset()` are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-   The static methods on `HotReloading` are now deprecated. They have been replaced with instance methods.
-   The use of the globals `Mix`, `Config`, and `webpackConfig` are now deprecated and will warn on use in Mix v7.

We are working toward an API for access to `Mix` for extensions that does not assume that it is a global or that it is the same instance in all cases.

In the mean time:

-   Uses of `Chunks.instance()` may be replaced with `Mix.chunks`
-   Uses of `Config` may be replaced with `Mix.config`
-   Uses of `webpackConfig` may be replaced with `Mix.webpackConfig`
-   Uses of `HotReloading.*` methods `Mix.hot.*`
