Q3 2022 Release (v9.0.0)

Highlights

• Blockly core is now in TypeScript! If you use TypeScript, you should notice better type declarations for Blockly. There may still be some rough edges; please tell us about them or submit a fix.
• Blockly is transpiled to ES2015, no longer ES5. ES2015 is supported by all major browsers.
• Blockly is no longer guaranteed to be compatible with Internet Explorer, and some IE workarounds have been removed.
• If you're using modules, the way you import generators has changed. See the generators documentation for more information.

Migration

To help deal with breaking changes from this release:

1. Run npx @blockly/migrate rename --from <your version> <./path/to/my/files*>
2. Run npx @blockly/migrate fix-imports --from <your version> <./path/to/my/files*>

These commands will automatically modify your files so that they are compatible with version 9. The first command will automatically rename properties that have been renamed. And the second command will add/fix imports for blocks/generators that have been moved.

Some problems may still exist after running the migration scripts, but the majority of them should be fixed!

Q1 2022 Patch 5

This patch fixes additional message loading problems. Message loading now works as expected in these scenarios:

• Loading Blockly and messages with a module loader
• Loading the wrapped message files via a script tag (e.g. the message files published on npm and unpkg)
• Loading the unwrapped message files via a script tag (e.g. the message files present in Blockly's GitHub repo without additional processing). Note that this approach is not recommended going forward, but this patch does allow this scenario to work as expected.

Included in this release:

• #6329

Q1 2022 Patch 4

This patch fixes some problems related to message loading. Previously, when loading message files from script tags, translations appeared broken. If using a module loader, things worked correctly. Now, both cases should work correctly.

In this patch: #6289
Fixes: #6123

Note: This does not fix all of the issues reported in #4369 (namely, issues related to lazy loading or code splitting) but it may address some of the issues reported there that overlapped with #6123.

Q1 2022 Patch 3

What's Changed

This patch releases fixes certain errors with TypeScript declaration files. In v8.0.0-8.0.2, you might have seen a TypeScript error such as: node_modules/blockly/blocks.d.ts:14:26 - error TS2497: This module can only be referenced with ECMAScript imports/exports by turning on the 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' flag and referencing its default export. This was due to an error in our declaration files. After this patch, this error should be resolved. You may still have TypeScript type errors even after this patch, as our declarations don't exactly match reality; in such cases you will have to silence the compiler or cast the problematic types to any.

• fix: Fix errors in TS declarations with blocks and generators by @maribethb in #6200

Full Changelog: blockly-v8.0.2...blockly-v8.0.3

Q1 2022 Patch 2

The v8.0.1 patch to NPM did not have the correct files. So we must create a new patch to fix this.

This contains all of the same code as v8.0.1, it just bumps the version number.
