New features:

  • Many common errors now have more contextual error messages. Check out the test file changes to see what this looks like!
  • If a <PROJECT_ROOT>/flow-typed/ directory exists, Flow will now assume it is a [libs] directory by default to help reduce the amount of out-of-the-box configuration that is necessary. (Thanks @splodingsocks!)
  • Support for specifying a default on a type parameter declaration. For example: type Iterator<Yield, Return=void, Next=void> = ....

Notable bug fixes:

  • Fixed the flow coverage command.
  • Fixed crashes when running type-at-pos and dump-types over destructuring.
  • Fixed a refinement bug when evaluating a method call on a refined variable in some cases.
  • Fixed an issue where some system commands could throw if Flow attempts to read a directory that it doesn't have permission to read.
  • Fixed a bug where the inferred return type of some functions that might return void could end up as exactly void (rather than a union of the possible return types).
  • Fixed a bug where the server would crash if a .json file is deleted after a server was already running.
  • Type applications that don't have the right number of type parameters (i.e. Map<number>) now emit a more clear error.
  • Lots of dom/bom improvements sent in from contributors! (big thanks to @marudor for lots of these!)

Misc:

  • Better locations for logical operator errors
  • Better error message sorting:
    • Sorts errors in .json files by name coalesced with .js files
    • Sorts all internal errors before parse errors before type/inference errors
    • Sorts lib file errors before source file errors
  • Perf improvements for some comparisons of polymorphic types
