Note: The documentation site isn’t updated with all of the main new things below. We will get to it soon.
This release comes with native JavaScript bundling (and minifier), with import support (from
node_modulesetc.), tree shaking, scope hoisting for ES6 modules, transpilation of JSX and newer JS syntax down to ES6, JavaScript/JSX and TypeScript/TSX support. And it’s very fast. Benchmarks rates it at least 100x faster than the other JavaScript bundlers included. This new feature is backed by the very impressive ESBuild project by @evanw. Many thanks to @remko for the integration work.
