v6.14.0 (2016-08-23) TAKE ME TO FLAVOR TOWN

Lots of stuff in this release!

npm install babel-preset-es2017 --save-dev

// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["es2017"] }
  • #3625, #3673 A new preset called latest that transforms ES2015+ (currently ES2015, ES2016, ES2017). You can also pass options down to the es2015 preset.

We also will be working on getting a target/env (autoprefixer) preset soon.

npm install babel-preset-latest --save-dev

// .babelrc
{ "presets": ["latest"] }
// with options
{ "presets": [
  ["latest", {
    "es2015": {
      "modules": false 
    }
  }]
] }

spec for arrow functions uses .bind(this), instead of renaming, to make this available inside the transformed function. It also adds a runtime check to make sure they are not instantiated (since they transform into bound regular functions). spec for template literals wraps all expressions in String rather than simple string concatenation.

// .babelrc
{
  "presets": [
    ["es2015", { "spec": true }]
  ]
}

  • #3659 @kittens added an optional wrapPluginVisitorMethod callback to transform to allow for performance tracking/introspection of plugins. More docs will be added on the website soon.

  • #3658 sourcemaps will also now have a names field for identifiers to allow debuggers to do re-aliasing of mangled identifiers.

  • #3518 For spec compilancy, we now will throw on a file with multiple export default.

Notable Bug Fixes

  • #3527 Fix class inheritance in IE <=10 without loose mode.
  • #3644 Support the ignore config option in .babelrc.
  • #3655 Flow-only class props were not be stripped without transform-class-properties.

v6.13.2 (2016-08-05)

Hi again, just fixing up logic from the backwards-compatibility fix which broke options in presets. Also added more tests and will update Babel to use the new preset options after this release.

Bug Fix

  • babel-core, babel-preset-es2015
    • #3638 [Bug Fix] option manager: val = val.buildPreset should be before the check if the preset supports options (@christophehurpeau)

v6.13.1 (2016-08-04)

We had a regression in our new babel-preset-es2015@6.13.0 that made it unexpectedly backward-incompatible. This release introduces a new alternative plugin-options approach that is uglier but supports backward-compatiblity. Ideally new plugins would use the new module.exports = function(babel, options){ } approach and simple skip supporting babel-core@<6.13.x.

Bug Fix

  • babel-core, babel-preset-es2015

v6.13.0 (2016-08-04)

Since the last release we've created https://github.com/babel/notes to track discussions on our slack and high level features/changes that could be added - definetely check it out if you're interested in Babel's development!

Some small but very important additions in this release:

Preset options (babel/notes)

Initially, presets were supposed to be one-off sets of plugins that didn't have any configuration. If you wanted to do something different you would make your own presets. There are > 600 presets on npm now. We want to give users more flexibility in certain cases: like when you want to pass the same option to multiple presets or to remove a default plugin.

loose and modules options for babel-preset-es2015 (#3331, #3627)

This has been rather annoying. Having to install babel-preset-es2015-loose-native-modules seems rather crazy when it could be an option.

With #3627, you can pass 2 options in:

  • loose - Enable "loose" transformations for any plugins in this preset that allow them (Disabled by default).
  • modules - Enable transformation of ES6 module syntax to another module type (Enabled by default to "commonjs"). Can be false to not transform modules, or one of ["amd", "umd", "systemjs", "commonjs"]
// for loose and native modules
{
  presets: [
    ["es2015", { "loose": true, "modules": false }]
  ]
}

Updates to babel-preset-stage-2

  • babel-preset-es2017, babel-preset-latest (still deciding the name), supporting codemods, and more!

6.9.2 (2016-05-29)

Fixup missing dependency.

Bug Fix

  • babel-runtime: Fix an issue with getting Cannot find module 'regenerator-runtime' because it was set as a devDependency instead of a dependency.

6.9.1 (2016-05-29)

Just 2 fixes this release!

  • A class property fix (set this correctly when using async arrow function class properties without a super class).
  • A fix for react-constant-elements plugin to help optimize react more (the plugin wasn't applying to JSX with text).

Also, thanks to @mucsi96 for catching the extraneous code coverage comments we were leaving when publishing!

We are removing/deprecating babel-regenerator-runtime in favor of depending on the original regenerator-runtime since the differences are resolved. Thanks to (@benjamn) for the suggestion to maintain it (and for originally creating it!).

Bug Fix

  • babel-core
    • #3508 Assign _this to this when there is no Superclass in a Class when using class properties. Fixes T7364. (@ehjay)

The fix correctly set this: var _this; -> var _this = this;

// input
class MyClass {
  myAsyncMethod = async () => {
    console.log(this);
  }
}

// output
class MyClass {
  constructor() {
    var _this = this; // _this wasn't being set to `this`
    this.myAsyncMethod = babelHelpers.asyncToGenerator(function* () {
      console.log(_this);
    });
  }
}
  • babel-plugin-transform-react-constant-elements, babel-types

JSX with text in it was not being hoisted as other constant elements.

// input
var Foo = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return <div>Text</div>; // text wasn't considered constant
  }
});

// output
var _ref = <div>Text</div>;

var Foo = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return _ref;
  }
});

6.8.0 (2016-05-02)

Babel is now compiled with Babel 6!

Why this is relevant

TLDR: This fixes the npm deduping issues regarding babel-runtime 5 and 6.

  • Because all Babel packages were compiled with Babel 5 and using babel-runtime@5, npm can't dedupe any of them if a consumer of Babel also added a dependency on babel-runtime@6.

Example:

└─┬ babel-plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator@6.5.0
  ├─┬ babel-helper-builder-binary-assignment-operator-visitor@6.6.5
  │ ├─┬ babel-helper-explode-assignable-expression@6.6.5
  │ │ └── babel-runtime@5.8.38
  │ └── babel-runtime@5.8.38
  ├─┬ babel-plugin-syntax-exponentiation-operator@6.5.0
  │ └── babel-runtime@5.8.38
  └── babel-runtime@5.8.38

Now it should be more like:

└─┬ babel-runtime@6.8.0
└─┬ babel-plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator@6.8.0
  ├─┬ babel-helper-builder-binary-assignment-operator-visitor@6.8.0
  │ ├─┬ babel-helper-explode-assignable-expression@6.8.0
  ├─┬ babel-plugin-syntax-exponentiation-operator@6.8.0

Flow fix, mention babylon move

Bug Fix

  • babel-traverse
    • #3414: Warn on Flow-based bindings and don't count as a const violation. (@amasad)

We are treating static type information as part of the runtime scope information. So a Flow type declaration was being considered a binding on the scope. This was specifically problematic when we thinking that we're overwriting a binding:

The following code:

declare class foo {}
const foo = 1;

Will result in the error: "foo" is read-only

Since removing support for flow-based bindings would be a breaking change, in this release I'm adding a warning whenever someone tries to use Flow types as bindings.

6.7.1 (2016-03-09)

Bug Fix

  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-block-scoping
    • #3411 Fixes T7197: Move bindings without losing any information.

The following code:

let foo = () => {
  foo = () => { };
};

foo();

Was generating:

var foo = function foo() {
  foo = function foo() {};
};

foo();

Notice how the function name foo was is shadowing the upper scope variable. This was fixed and the generated code now is:

var _foo = function foo() {
  _foo = function foo() {};
};

_foo();

6.7.0 (2016-03-08)

Notable changes:

  • Various async function fixes (const read-only error, wrong this, etc)
  • Proper sourcemaps for import/export statements
  • Moved internal Babel cache out of the AST

New Feature

  • babel-traverse

Move cache into a clearable WeakMap, adds traverse.clearCache and traverse.copyCache. This doubles as a bug fix because previously reusable AST Nodes would carry their cache with them even if they're used across multiple files and transform passes.

// examples
class C<+T,-U> {}
function f<+T,-U>() {}

This syntax allows you to specify whether a type variable can appear in a covariant or contravariant position, and is super useful for, say, Promise. @samwgoldman can tell you more 😄.

    • #3323 Source-map support for multiple input source files. (@divmain)

Bug Fix

The problem is that the name bar of FunctionExpression is only visible inside that function, not in foo or ref.

// input
var foo = async function bar() {
  console.log(bar);
};


// before
var foo = function () {
  var ref = babelHelpers.asyncToGenerator(function* () {
    console.log(bar);
  });

  return function bar() {
    return ref.apply(this, arguments);

New Feature

New plugin babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys
  • babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys, babel-preset-es2015

babel-plugin-transform-es2015-duplicate-keys is a new plugin that is included in the es2015 preset. It was added since ES5 doesn't allow duplicate properties (it is valid in ES2015 strict mode however).

It will compile objects with duplicate keys to computed properties, which can be compiled with the transform-es2015-computed-properties plugin.

Example:

// .babelrc
{ "plugins": ["transform-es2015-duplicate-keys"] }
// Input
var x = { a: 5, "a": 6 };
// Output
var x = { a: 5, ["a"]: 6 };
New globals option for transform-es2015-modules-umd
// Adds a new plugin option to let you override the names of globals
// .babelrc
{
  "plugins": [
    ["transform-es2015-modules-umd", {
      "globals": {
        "es6-promise": "Promise"
      }
    }]

6.5.0 (2016-02-07)

Happy Superbowl Sunday! There's many contributors (17 + core) this release!

A traversal per preset (Experimental)

This is an experimental feature that will most likely change. Depending on usage/feedback, we will switch the way this is used to instead define a explicit preset-level config flag (rather than the global one below). This will give more control over how you want to use this option.

@DmitrySoshnikov added a new option you can put in your .babelrc!

{
  passPerPreset: true,
  presets: [
    {
      plugins: ['plugin-1']
    },
    'preset-2',
    {
      plugins: ['plugin-2']
    }
  ]
}
// this will create 3 traversals

passPerPreset: true will modify how babel traverses through plugins. Instead of a single traversal in which all plugins/presets are merged together, each preset will get their own traversal.

This allows users to have a specific order to how presets/plugins are applied and can help avoid potential collisions between plugins (and probably some known issues).

More Speeeeeeed

@gzzhanghao made some awesome changes to improve our code generator's performance (babel-generator). The original issue is here.

Based on his test (on parsing jquery.js), performance improved ~3x.

===== origin/master (ms) =====
babylon 265
babel generator 2238 <-- old
acorn 107
escodegen 355
esprima 95
escodegen 322
===== Optimized (ms) =====
babylon 296
babel generator 662 <-- new
acorn 113
escodegen 355
esprima 106
escodegen 317

A big change had to do with keeping this.last as an instance variable in the buffer instead of this.buf[this.buf.length -1].

You can read more about his changes here. Hoping to see more PR's like this!

We will try to setup some perf tests soon to track these stats for the future (or you can help!).

  • Internal
  • Handle contexts for paths much better. This will ensure that the path node location info is in sync.

5.4.2

  • Polish
  • ignore and only patterns are now very liberal. The pattern can now exist anywhere in the path.

5.4.1

  • Bug Fix
  • Add missing slash dependency. Thanks @browncolyn!
  • Polish
  • Clean up shouldIgnore algorithm to work how you'd expect rather than being a hacky piece of shit. It now crawls the entire path, checking each section of it against the input ignore/only patterns. This means that the pattern foo will ignore the paths foo/bar.js, bar/foo etc.

5.4.0

  • New Feature
  • Added function bind syntax behind stage 0. Thanks @RReverser!
  • Added env option. Especially handy when using the .babelrc.

  • Properly hoist temp param declarations when doing TCO.
  • Internal
  • Add --harmony_generators flag to $ babel-node.
  • Internal AST traversals have been minimised drastically. Transformers have been grouped together which means entire tree traversals are much fewer. Visiting nodes is now also skipped if the traversal context can detect that the handler is a noop. This sames precious cycles as it avoids constructing traversal paths and creating a new traversal context. See issues #1472 and #1486 for related discussion.

5.2.12

  • Polish
  • Make UID generation based on module declarations much nicer.
  • Internal
  • Remove internal check for traversal path replacement of self. This is a pattern that could come up in the wild and it could lead to pretty nasty code and may lead to internal regressions as the test coverage isn't 100% :( Instead, just put it in the fast path.

  • Internal
  • Rename getModuleName option to getModuleId, doh.

  • Process globs manually when using $ babel as some shells such as Windows don't explode them. Thanks @jden!
  • Add alternative way to execute plugins via a closure that's called with the current Babel instance.
  • Internal
  • Remove multiple internal transformers in favor of directly doing things when we need to. Previously, declarations such as _ref that we needed to create in specific scopes were done at the very end via the _declarations transformer. Now, they're done and added to the scope right when they're needed. This gets rid of the crappy _declarations property on scope nodes and fixes the crappy regenerator bug where it was creating a new BlockStatement so the declarations were being lost.
  • Rework transformer traversal optimisation. Turns out that calling a check function for every single node in the AST is ridiculously expensive. 300,000 nodes timesed by ~30 transformers meant that it took tens of seconds to perform while it's quicker to just do the unnecessary traversal. Seems obvious in hindsight.
  • New Feature
