Release Notes

What changed in the notable releases of @remotex-labs/xbuild.

v2.5.1

• Changed: Qualifiers on named imports (import type { ... }) are preserved when bundling declaration files, so generated .d.ts output keeps type-only imports intact. See declaration.

v2.5.0

• Changed: Diagnostic logging categorizes output into errors, warnings, and info instead of printing a flat list, making build output easier to scan.

v2.4.0

Dependency-aware build execution: variants can declare what they depend on, and xBuild orders the build accordingly.

const config: xBuildConfig = {
    variants: {
        types: { /* ... */ },
        main: {
            dependOn: 'types' // main builds only after types finishes
        }
    }
};

• Added: dependOn field on a variant (string or Array<string>) to define build order between variants. Dependencies always finish before the dependent variant starts, independent variants run in parallel, and cycles or unknown variant names are rejected with a validation error.

v2.3.0

• Changed: Reloading the configuration in watch mode clears the build cache, so config changes take effect without stale results. See Runtime Config Updates.
• Changed: Path and stack-trace handling moved to @remotex-labs/xmap, removing the internal path component.

v2.2.0

• Changed: $$inline callbacks receive the full build context: context.options now carries the active esbuild options and context.variantName the current build variant. See Inline Context.
• Changed: outfile is preferred over outdir when both are set on a variant.
• Changed: Plain-text esbuild build and runtime errors are normalized as xBuildError, and warning-only builds no longer fail.

Earlier releases
