This has several reasons, benefits and consequences: - When running on root (which is not recommended anyway), `npm run build` was already necessary. - This allows to not use the `prepublish` hook, whose behavior is going to change in npm v5 and again in npm v6. - This allows to create both production and development builds when running from source. - It makes `npm run build` compatible with Windows again for development environments (lost in previous commit). - It uses the `prepublishOnly` hook added in npm v4. Since this hook is not available prior to that, deployment to npm from Travis has to be done on the Node.js v7 environment.
