 ## v7.8.4 (2020-01-30)
 
+> :warning: In Babel 7.8.0 we introduced the `--copy-ignored` option for `@babel/cli`, defaulting to `false`. However, previous versions behaved as if that option was present: for this reason, we changed its default value to `true` (when `--copy-files` is provided) and introduced a `--no-copy-ignored` option to disable it.
