What’s new Permalink to "What’s new"

The big news is that this is the last 4.x release from the master branch. Starting now, our focus will be JHipster 5, and JHipster 4 will be in maintenance mode: we will do patches if necessary, but the main development work will be on JHipster 5.

For the record, JHipster 5 will focus on Spring Boot 2 and on React. Angular will still be a first-class citizen, but AngularJS will be excluded from the main project (you will still be able to use AngularJS as an external “blueprint”, which is a new system that will be published with JHipster 5).

Here are the highlights of this release:

  • Upgrade to Spring Security 4.2.4 to fix CVE-2017-8030 - see #7059
  • Migrate to the new HttpClientModule from Angular 4.3 - see #6281
  • Upgrade to Angular 5.2 and Bootstrap 4.0.0 - see #7005
  • Upgrade to Angular CLI to 1.6.6 - see #7052
  • Heroku deployments can now be made directly through Git - see #7045
  • React support is still “experimental”, so you need to run jhipster --experimental to enable React support. This is not complete yet, but we are quickly moving forward, so you can already have a good taste of JHipster 5 here. And if you’re a React expert, don’t hesitate to contribute!
  • Generate i18n mouseover/tooltip help from JDL comments - see #6797

Manual upgrades

For a manual upgrade, first upgrade your version of JHipster with:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

If you have an existing project, it will still use the JHipster version with which it was generated. To upgrade your project, you must first delete its node_modules folder and then run:

You can also update your project and all its entities by running

jhipster --with-entities

You can also update your entities one-by-one by running again the entity sub-generator, for example if your entity is named Foo

jhipster entity Foo
