A New Package for the CLI

Ionic has announced the re-release of its CLI package under a new name, @ionic/cli, to address user confusion regarding versioning between the Ionic framework and the CLI tool. Previously, users often mistook the CLI version for the entire framework version due to the shared name "Ionic." To update, users are instructed to uninstall the old package and install the new one, aligning with a trend seen in other frameworks like Angular and Vue, which have also adopted scoped package names. This change coincides with the release of CLI version 6.0, bringing new features and improvements, and the old package will no longer receive updates. Feedback from the community has been positive, and users are encouraged to upgrade to benefit from the latest enhancements.
