This is the first release of the year! 🎉
Babel 7.8.0 supports the new ECMAScript 2020 features by default: you don't need to enable individual plugins for nullish coalescing (??
), optional chaining (?.
) and dynamic import()
anymore with preset-env.
We also finished aligning our different configuration files with the formats natively supported by Node.js, a process that we started in the 7.7.0 release.
Lastly, Babel's CLI now supports two new options: --out-file-extension
and --copy-ignored
.
