What's new​

This is a huge release, with 105 closed tickets and bug requests (yes, the last 2 weeks have been pretty busy for the team!).

Here are the most important ones:

  • Angular 5 support #6789
  • MongoDB users can now use the Elasticsearch option, like JPA users #6595

As announced in the previous release, React support is still under development: use the --experimental flag when running JHipster to enable the React option. Warning, this is not finished yet! Your contributions are of course welcome.

OpenCollective​

We have opened an OpenCollective account. If you find the project helpful, or if your company benefits from it, please consider becoming a backer or a sponsor.

This is very important to keep the project growing.

How to upgrade​

Automatic upgrade

For an automatic upgrade, use the JHipster upgrade sub-generator on an existing application:

Upgrade your version of JHipster:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

And then run the upgrade sub-generator:

jhipster upgrade

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:

jhipster

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
