New Features

Error Handling: Users can now access the original error message through the new error.originalMessage property, providing more context when an error occurs during process execution.
Process Execution: The addition of the all option allows users to handle both stdout and stderr streams more effectively, ensuring that processes finish correctly even when buffer is set to false.

Improvements

Compatibility: Execa is now compatible with Node.js 13.0.0-pre, ensuring a smoother upgrade path for users.
Dependency Updates: The npm-run-path and cross-spawn dependencies are upgraded to their latest major versions, enhancing performance and security.
Documentation: The documentation now clearly explains the scenarios in which the promise returned by execa might fail, helping users understand potential issues better.

Fixes

Fix errors that occur when using detached: true or cleanup: false, ensuring a smoother experience when configuring child processes.
Fix the issue of unfinished promises when the path is not found and buffer is set to false, allowing for proper error handling in such cases.

Others

Cleanup child processes created during tests to prevent zombie processes, improving the testing environment.
