Babel 7 Stable Released

[sibiraj-s]

Babel 7 stable version is released. Expecting a final release of this library. To help-out I created a PR #273 with some updates. Nothing Major.

I think landing that PR then releasing a 9.0.1 as latest seems reasonable. It's technically a breaking change, so I with we hadn't published 9.0.0 yet, but at least it isn't tagged latest yet.

[sibiraj-s]

Yes I agree. 9.0.0 should have been released something like 9.0.0-beta.0. Now there is an awkward version skip in the first major version.

zertosh prob only did that after I asked for it, I'm sorry for overstepping. In hindsight a beta.0 version would've been better.

Is there anything against publishing it as a major 10.0.0? I'm using v9 in some places already and don't mind having potential breakage in 9.0.1 but others may not expect it. A few folks in issues were also already using Babel 7 with babelify so it's seeing some use.

Hi guys,
Can we expect a release soon?
Thank you very much and keep up the good work 👊

Hey all, I'll do my best to get a 10.0.0 up as soon as I can, but until then 9.0.0 should work with Babel 7.x, you'll just need to install it with babelify@next until 10.x it out.

I've published babelify@10.0.0-beta.0. Could folks test it out and make sure it seems to work? I tweaked a bunch of things around option processing, and most importantly basedir handling, so it generates sourcemaps with relative paths properly.

Edit: And now 10.0.0-beta.1 to revert an unnecessary change.

[sibiraj-s]

Tested 10.0.0-beta.1 in our app. Works like charm. No issues so far.
