Release Notes

parcel-bundler/watcher (@​parcel/watcher)

v2.5.0

Compare Source

Added

• Support 32-bit arm musl platform
• Support npm --build-from-source flag to optionally build from source instead of using prebuilt packages. Can be used in conjunction with --no-optional to prevent installing platform-specific dependencies.

Fixed

• Fix use after free errors (#​177)
• Fix deadlock between Watcher and Debounce threads (#​189)
• Avoid open() calls on stat() failures on macOS to prevent security dialogs (#​186)

v2.4.1

Compare Source

v2.4.0

Compare Source

Adds support for CommonJS (along with existing support for ESM) in @parcel/watcher-wasm.

v2.3.0

Compare Source

Features

• Add a kqueue backend to support FreeBSD, or as an alternative to FSEvents on macOS
• Add a WASM backend, for use in environments where native modules cannot run (e.g. on the web in environments like Stackblitz, or unsupported processor architectures/operating systems). Use the @parcel/watcher-wasm package instead of @parcel/watcher in these cases. Note that this is much less efficient than using native OS-specific APIs, so keep using the native packages where possible.
• Migrate to napi thread safe functions, which allows using @parcel/watcher from multiple Node.js worker threads
• Add a 32-bit windows build, useful if users accidentally installed a 32-bit version of Node

v2.2.0

Compare Source

This release migrates to a new method of distribution. Rather than including binaries for all operating systems and architectures inside the @parcel/watcher package, there are now individual packages per platform (e.g. @parcel/watcher-darwin-x64). Each of these is an optional dependency of the main watcher package. This way, npm and other package managers will install only the binary for the platform you are running on. This reduces bandwidth and disk space.

This also enabled us to add pre-compiled binaries for more platforms, meaning you don't need to have a C++ compiler to install the watcher. This should help with some minimal Docker environments especially. The architectures with prebuilds available now include:

• darwin-x64
• darwin-arm64
• win32-x64
• win32-arm64
• linux-x64-glibc
• linux-x64-musl
• linux-arm64-glibc
• linux-arm64-musl
• linux-arm-glibc (32-bit arm v7)
• android-arm64

v5.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking

• This package is now pure ESM. Please read this.
  • If you use TypeScript, you need to use TypeScript 4.7 or later. Why.
  • If you use a bundler, make sure it supports ESM and that you have correctly configured it for ESM.
  • The Chalk issue tracker is not a support channel for your favorite build/bundler tool.
  • It's totally fine to stay on Chalk v4. It's been stable for years.
• Require Node.js 12.20 fa16f4e
• Move some properties off the default export to individual named exports:
  • chalk.Instance → Chalk
  • chalk.supportsColor → supportsColor
  • chalk.stderr → chalkStderr
  • chalk.stderr.supportsColor → supportsColorStderr
• Remove .keyword(), .hsl(), .hsv(), .hwb(), and .ansi() coloring methods (#​433) 4cf2e40
  • These were not commonly used and added a lot of bloat to Chalk. You can achieve the same by using the color-convert package.
• The tagged template literal support moved into a separate package: chalk-template (#​524) c987c61

-import chalk from 'chalk';
+import chalkTemplate from 'chalk-template';

-chalk`2 + 3 = {bold ${2 + 3}}`;
+chalkTemplate`2 + 3 = {bold ${2 + 3}}`;

Improvements

• Bundle dependencies 04fdbd6
  • This means Chalk no longer has any dependencies 🎉
• The install size is less than half of v4.
• Add overline style (#​433) 4cf2e40
• Preserve function prototype methods (#​434) 0fba91b

tj/commander.js (commander)

v13.1.0

Compare Source

Added

• support a pair of long option flags to allow a memorable shortened flag, like .option('--ws, --workspace') ([#​2312])

v13.0.0

Compare Source

Added

• support multiple calls to .parse() with default settings ([#​2299])
• add .saveStateBeforeParse() and .restoreStateBeforeParse() for use by subclasses ([#​2299])
• style routines like styleTitle() to add color to help using .configureHelp() or Help subclass ([#​2251])
• color related support in .configureOutput() for getOutHasColors(), getErrHasColors(), and stripColor() ([#​2251])
• Help property for minWidthToWrap ([#​2251])

• Breaking: throw during Option construction for unsupported option flags, like multiple characters after single - ([#​2270])
  • note: support for dual long option flags added in Commander 13.1
• Breaking: throw on multiple calls to .parse() if storeOptionsAsProperties: true ([#​2299])
• TypeScript: include implicit this in parameters for action handler callback ([#​2197])

Deleted

• Breaking: Help.wrap() refactored into formatItem() and boxWrap() ([#​2251])

Migration Tips

Excess command-arguments

It is now an error for the user to specify more command-arguments than are expected. (allowExcessArguments is now false by default.)

Old code:

program.option('-p, --port <number>', 'port number');
program.action((options) => {
  console.log(program.args);
});

Now shows an error:

$ node example.js a b c
error: too many arguments. Expected 0 arguments but got 3.

You can declare the expected arguments. The help will then be more accurate too. Note that declaring
new arguments will change what is passed to the action handler.

program.option('-p, --port <number>', 'port number');
program.argument('[args...]', 'remote command and arguments'); // expecting zero or more arguments
program.action((args, options) => {
  console.log(args);
});

Or you could suppress the error, useful for minimising changes in legacy code.

program.option('-p, --port', 'port number');
program.allowExcessArguments();
program.action((options) => {
  console.log(program.args);
});

Stricter option flag parsing

Commander now throws an error for option flag combinations that are not supported.
In particular, a short flag with multiple characters is now an error.

program.option('-ws, --workspace'); // throws error

A short option has a single character:

program.option('-w, --workspace');

Or from Commander 13.1 you can have an extra long flag instead of a short flag to allow a more memorable shortcut for the full name:

program.option('--ws, --workspace');

v12.0.0

Compare Source

Fixed

• Breaking: use non-zero exit code when spawned executable subcommand terminates due to a signal ([#​2023])
• Breaking: check passThroughOptions constraints when using .addCommand and throw if parent command does not have .enablePositionalOptions() enabled ([#​1937])

• refactor internal implementation of built-in help option ([#​2006])
• refactor internal implementation of built-in help command ([#​2087])

Deprecated

• .addHelpCommand() passing string or boolean (use .helpCommand() or pass a Command) ([#​2087])

Removed

• Breaking: removed default export of a global Command instance from CommonJS (use the named program export instead) ([#​2017])

Migration Tips

global program

If you are using the deprecated default import of the global Command object, you need to switch to using a named import (or create a new Command).

// const program = require('commander');
const { program } = require('commander');

option and command clashes

A couple of configuration problems now throw an error, which will pick up issues in existing programs:

• adding an option which uses the same flag as a previous option
• adding a command which uses the same name or alias as a previous command

Migration Tips

If you have a simple program without an action handler, you will now get an error if
there are missing command-arguments.

program
  .option('-d, --debug')
  .arguments('<file>');
program.parse();

$ node trivial.js 
error: missing required argument 'file'

If you want to show the help in this situation, you could check the arguments before parsing:

if (process.argv.length === 2)
  program.help();
program.parse();

Or, you might choose to show the help after any user error:

program.showHelpAfterError();

Migration Tips

The biggest change is the parsed option values. Previously the options were stored by default as properties on the command object, and now the options are stored separately.

If you wish to restore the old behaviour and get running quickly you can call .storeOptionsAsProperties().
To allow you to move to the new code patterns incrementally, the action handler will be passed the command twice,
to match the new "options" and "command" parameters (see below).

program options

Use the .opts() method to access the options. This is available on any command but is used most with the program.

program.option('-d, --debug');
program.parse();
// Old code before Commander 7
if (program.debug) console.log(`Program name is ${program.name()}`);

// New code
const options = program.opts();
if (options.debug) console.log(`Program name is ${program.name()}`);

action handler

The action handler gets passed a parameter for each command-argument you declared. Previously by default the next parameter was the command object with the options as properties. Now the next two parameters are instead the options and the command. If you
only accessed the options there may be no code changes required.

program
  .command('compress <filename>')
  .option('-t, --trace')
  // Old code before Commander 7
  .action((filename, cmd) => {
    if (cmd.trace) console.log(`Command name is ${cmd.name()}`);
  });

  // New code
  .action((filename, options, command) => {
    if (options.trace) console.log(`Command name is ${command.name()}`);
  });

If you already set .storeOptionsAsProperties(false) you may still need to adjust your code.

program
  .command('compress <filename>')
  .storeOptionsAsProperties(false)
