v9.2.0

What's changed

JHipster 9.2.0 is a polish release for v9. It focuses on finishing the move to Vitest on the frontend, tightening generated backend security and validation, fixing a few high-impact generation bugs, and continuing the TypeScript and template cleanup across the generator.

🌟 Highlights

🧩 Templates and internal improvements

• Our 3000+ EJS templates are now checked and formatted by eslint
• Improved blueprint generation and internals with stronger generate-blueprint typing and compatibility, reworked bootstrap generator composition, and MemFsEditorFile integration

🍃 Spring Boot and security

• Upgraded to Spring Boot 4.0.7 and improved generated backend hardening with a safer AccountResource
• An application generation fix restores initial project generation without requiring --force in the affected scenarios
• Reactive generated entities avoid negative BigDecimal scales (#33751) and Neo4j samples add BlockHound customization (#33816)

🖥️ Frontend

• Vitest is now the only generated frontend test framework, with Jest removal from client choices and Angular cleanup of leftover Jest conditionals
• Generated frontend behavior is more reliable across frameworks with PUT support for entities without autogenerated IDs, a React entity creation fix, and a Vue Boolean field rendering fix
• Vue webpack microservice samples now use Vite, and the selected auth option is preserved when generating client apps with --skip-server

📦 Toolchain updates

• Build tooling moved to Node 24.18.0, Gradle 9.6.1, and webpack-dev-server 6
• Supporting dependencies moved to Spring Cloud 2025.1.2, Prettier 3.9.3, GraalVM reachability metadata 1.0.5, and ngx-translate 18
