@github-actions github-actions released this 22 Sep 02:07

This release deliberately contains backwards-incompatible changes. To avoid automatically picking up releases like this, you should either be pinning the exact version of esbuild in your package.json file (recommended) or be using a version range syntax that only accepts patch upgrades such as ^0.23.0 or ~0.23.0. See npm's documentation about semver for more information.

  • Drop support for older platforms (#3902)

    This release drops support for the following operating system:

    • macOS 10.15 Catalina

    This is because the Go programming language dropped support for this operating system version in Go 1.23, and this release updates esbuild from Go 1.22 to Go 1.23. Go 1.23 now requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later.

    Note that this only affects the binary esbuild executables that are published to the esbuild npm package. It's still possible to compile esbuild's source code for these older operating systems. If you need to, you can compile esbuild for yourself using an older version of the Go compiler (before Go version 1.23). That might look something like this:

    git clone https://github.com/evanw/esbuild.git
    cd esbuild
    go build ./cmd/esbuild
    ./esbuild --version
    
  • Fix class field decorators in TypeScript if useDefineForClassFields is false (#3913)

    Setting the useDefineForClassFields flag to false in tsconfig.json means class fields use the legacy TypeScript behavior instead of the standard JavaScript behavior. Specifically they use assign semantics instead of define semantics (e.g. setters are triggered) and fields without an initializer are not initialized at all. However, when this legacy behavior is combined with standard JavaScript decorators, TypeScript switches to always initializing all fields, even those without initializers. Previously esbuild incorrectly continued to omit field initializers for this edge case. These field initializers in this case should now be emitted starting with this release.

  • Avoid incorrect cycle warning with tsconfig.json multiple inheritance (#3898)

    TypeScript 5.0 introduced multiple inheritance for tsconfig.json files where extends can be an array of file paths. Previously esbuild would incorrectly treat files encountered more than once when processing separate subtrees of the multiple inheritance hierarchy as an inheritance cycle. With this release, tsconfig.json files containing this edge case should work correctly without generating a warning.

  • Handle Yarn Plug'n'Play stack overflow with tsconfig.json (#3915)

    Previously a tsconfig.json file that extends another file in a package with an exports map could cause a stack overflow when Yarn's Plug'n'Play resolution was active. This edge case should work now starting with this release.

  • Work around more issues with Deno 1.31+ (#3917)

    This version of Deno broke the stdin and stdout properties on command objects for inherited streams, which matters when you run esbuild's Deno module as the entry point (i.e. when import.meta.main is true). Previously esbuild would crash in Deno 1.31+ if you ran esbuild like that. This should be fixed starting with this release.
