1.7.0

Numerous fixes addresses typos and feedback.

"Learning JavaScript Design Patterns" turns 5 yrs old today 🎂

My book has been available to freely read online for 5 years. In that time it's been read by 1.6 million developers across 3.7 million sessions online*. Physical book sales have been kind.

I can't thank the community enough for recommending the book to their friends and colleagues. I never imagined that I'd one day hear that it helped fellow Googlers and JavaScripters first learn about design patterns in a way that made sense to them. That said, I know the book could be far better.

JavaScript has evolved so much since this book was first written. When there's time, I would love to do a rewrite that includes ES2015+, talks about ES Modules, classes, Babel transforms for newer stage features and where we need to rethink some of these patterns.

I would love to capture a happy medium that beginners and intermediate developers can find useful in this new world. Until I have time to work on that, thank you for making the book a success.

I hope that it's been useful!
