This PR was opened by the Changesets release GitHub action. When you're ready to do a release, you can merge this and the packages will be published to npm automatically. If you're not ready to do a release yet, that's fine, whenever you add more changesets to master, this PR will be updated.

Releases

skuba@8.0.0

This version of skuba looks more scary than it is. The major change is that our dependencies have bumped their minimum Node.js requirement from 18.12 to 18.18. Most SEEK projects do not pin minor Node.js versions and are unlikely to be affected by this change.

In the spirit of upgrades, we recently refreshed our ARM64 migration guide and also have one for pnpm. A previous release landed a skuba migrate command to simplify upgrades to Node.js 20 (active LTS) before Node.js 18 reaches EOL in April 2025.

Major Changes

• deps: eslint-config-seek 13 + eslint-config-skuba 4 + typescript-eslint ^7.2.0 (#1487)

  These major upgrades bump our minimum requirement from Node.js 18.12 to 18.18.

  See the typescript-eslint v7 announcement for more information, and consider upgrading your project to the active LTS release with skuba migrate before Node.js 18 reaches EOL in April 2025.

Minor Changes

• deps: semantic-release 22 (#1492)

• deps: TypeScript 5.4 (#1491)

  This major release includes breaking changes. See the TypeScript 5.4 announcement for more information.

Patch Changes

• template: Remove BUILDPLATFORM from Dockerfiles (#1350)

  Previously, the built-in templates made use of BUILDPLATFORM and a fallback value:

  FROM --platform=${BUILDPLATFORM:-arm64} gcr.io/distroless/nodejs20-debian11

  1. Choose the platform of the host machine running the Docker build. An AWS Graviton Buildkite agent or Apple Silicon laptop will build under arm64, while an Intel laptop will build under amd64.
  2. Fall back to arm64 if the build platform is not available. This maintains compatibility with toolchains like Gantry that lack support for the BUILDPLATFORM argument.

  This approach allowed you to quickly build images and run containers in a local environment without emulation. For example, you could docker build an arm64 image on an Apple Silicon laptop for local troubleshooting, while your CI/CD solution employed amd64 hardware across its build and runtime environments. The catch is that your local arm64 image may exhibit different behaviour, and is unsuitable for use in your amd64 runtime environment without cross-compilation.

  The built-in templates now hardcode --platform as we have largely converged on arm64 across local, build and runtime environments:

  FROM --platform=arm64 gcr.io/distroless/nodejs20-debian11

  This approach is more explicit and predictable, reducing surprises when working across different environments and toolchains. Building an image on a different platform will be slower and rely on emulation.

• Jest.mergePreset: Fudge Node16 and NodeNext module resolutions (#1481)

  This works around a ts-jest issue where test cases fail to run if your moduleResolution is set to a modern mode:

  {
    "compilerOptions": {
      "moduleResolution": "Node16 | NodeNext"
    }
  }

  error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'Node16' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'Node16'.
  error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'NodeNext' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'NodeNext'.

• pkg: Exclude jest/*.test.ts files (#1481)

• template: Remove account-level tags from resources (#1494)

  This partially reverts #1459 and #1461 to avoid unnecessary duplication of account-level tags in our templates.

eslint-config-skuba@4.0.0

Major Changes

• deps: eslint-config-seek 13 + typescript-eslint ^7.2.0 (#1487)

  These major upgrades bump our minimum requirements:

  • Node.js >=18.18.0
  • ESLint >=8.56.0
  • TypeScript >=4.7.5

  See the typescript-eslint v7 announcement for more information.
