v6.0.0

6.0.0 (2019, July 17)

Breaking changes

• Applications can be build only with bundle workflow - in previous versions there were two ways to build your application - bundle and legacy workflow. With this release CLI allows building your app only in case you are using the bundle workflow. More information is available in this blopost
• With older CLI versions you were able to run tns debug android and continue debugging after the command exits. In this release, when CLI exits, it clears all used resources, so you will not be able to continue the debug session. More information is available in this issue for more information.
• --syncAllFiles option is not supported anymore - this option was added to force CLI to watch all files in node_modules. In 6.0 this is the default and only behavior - webpack watches all required files and CLI watches the platforms directories and package.json files of the plugins added as dependencies of the application.
• Drop support for Xcode versions below 10 - new features for iOS require the latest Xcode versions, so we decided to require at least Xcode 10 for building the applications
• Drop support for Node.js below 8 - Node.js 8 does not support these version anymore and so does our CLI. In case you are using such Node.js version, CLI will not allow you to execute any command, so you should upgrade to latest LTS version.
• --platformTemplate option has been deleted. More information can be found in this issue.
• tns init command has been deleted
• tns clean app command has been deleted
• Improved plugin development workflow may require changes in your daily work when creating plugins. More information can be found in this issue
• When you pass --release, CLI will switch webpack in production mode. More information can be found in this issue
• CLI now forces sourceMap generation by default when building in debug mode. You can disable them by passing --env.sourceMap false. souceMaps are disabled by default in release builds, you can enable them by passing --env.sourceMap.
