v0.14.0

Likely to cause new Flow errors:

  • Assignment now triggers a refinement. If you have a variable that is a ?string and you assign 'hello' to it, Flow refines its type to 'string'.

Likely to fix old Flow errors:

  • We now treat missing type parameters as any. For example, previously ReactElement was treated as ReactElement<*, *, *>. Now it's treated as ReactElement<any, any, any>.

Misc:

  • Basic unsafe support for getters & setters, gated behind the config option unsafe.enable_getters_and_setters
  • Support for block comments inside of Flow's comment syntax
  • Disable by default munging of class property names that start with an underscore, with an option to enable it
  • Lots of small internal fixes and merged PRs
  • Basic semver support for the .flowconfig version
  • Support for declare type in lib files
  • Type annotations are now opaque - other types will not flow through them
  • You can configure the tmp dir that Flow uses

v0.13.1

Likely to cause new Flow errors:

  • Restricted + and += to only allow strings and numbers, and no longer implicitly cast objects, booleans, null or undefined. Use String(x) to explicitly cast these values.
  • Fixed a few bugs where types shared between modules may have lost precision or weren't enforced.

Misc:

  • Added import typeof feature that allows you to import the type of a value export from another module. It is sugar for: import MyThing_tmp from "MyModule"; type MyThing = typeof MyThing_tmp; (except it removes the need for the intermediate MyThing_tmp variable)
  • Added flow ast command to print a serialized JSON ESTree AST. (Note that this AST does not include types, just syntactic structure for now)
  • Added support for class expressions
  • Added support for following symlinks
  • Added support for number-literal and boolean-literal annotations. (useful for things like enum types and refinements based on tests of equivalence between two variables)
  • Added support for ES6 binary and octal integer literals
  • Added support for export type within a CommonJS module that also uses the module.exports = ... pattern
  • Added support for refining some union types down to their disjoint members
  • Added support for covariant Promise type parameters
  • Added improved support for understanding ES5-style imperative class definitions (i.e. via functions + prototypes)
  • Fixed passing undefined to optional parameters
  • Fixed return-type tracking for tagged template usage
  • Fixed an issue where library parse errors would cause the flow server to continuously restart upon initialization without giving an error

v0.12.0

Likely to cause new Flow errors:

  • Fixed a bug where declarations from libraries which are exported from one module are not checked properly in the module into which that module is imported (e.g. if A.foo() returns a Promise, and module B requires A and calls A.foo(), the return type of A.foo() was not being checked properly)
  • Fixed enforcement of Object and Function type annotation arity, so that Object<K, V> errors
  • Restricted valid computed properties, such that only strings and numbers are allowed (notably, disallows null and undefined)

New features:

  • Added support for for-of and support for Iterable interface(s)
  • Added support for async/await
  • Added structural subtyping for interfaces -- anything can be an instance of an interface as long as it looks right
  • Added support for type annotations of the form typeof x, where x is the name of an in-scope variable
  • Added a new config option suppress_comment, a regexp which matches against comments and causes any Flow error on the next line to be suppressed. For example, suppress_comment=.*\$FlowFixMe.* will cause /* $FlowFixMe */\nvar x : number = "oops"; to not raise an error.
  • Added a new config option module.name_mapper, a regexp -> replacement template tuple to be applied to any matching module names before the Flow system resolves the name and looks it up
  • Added a --color=always|never|auto CLI option, useful when piping to less -R
  • Added a --one-line CLI option which replaces \n with \\n in multiline error messages, useful when piping to grep

Misc:

  • Many improvements to library files, especially node and ES6 APIs
  • Improved warnings on unsupported class members [PR #461]
  • Added support for export default class
  • Fixed if (x instanceof Array)
  • Fixed the type of x && y when x is an array, object or function
  • Fixed the flow get-def command, especially around imported types
  • Fixed a bug with == and improved comparison-related error messages
  • Fixed file watching for individual files included via .flowconfig [includes]
  • Fixed the build ID, so that the server restarts when accessed from a mismatched client version
  • Added a new config option log.file which overrides the default log file path

  • We are now syncing Flow's commit history to GitHub. No more huge updating diffs. We'll also filter the changelog to the most important things.
  • Big React refactoring to support ES6 React classes
  • Do you use any to workaround things that you want to fix later? Well, now you can use $FixMe instead of any and easily grep for these workarounds later.
  • We now report parsing errors in non-@flow files that you are require()'ing/import'ing
  • Better error messages and better error message positions
  • Better error traces, with flow check --traces N, where N is the trace depth
  • Basic support for Object.freeze()
  • Assorted fixes and updates to the flow libs
  • We're trying to be better about commenting the code
