Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
@esbuild/win32-x64
Advanced tools
The @esbuild/win32-x64 npm package is a binary package for the esbuild bundler and minifier tool. It is specifically compiled for Windows x64 systems. Esbuild is a fast JavaScript bundler and minifier that compiles TypeScript, JavaScript, and JSX files into a single output file. It is designed to be extremely fast and to provide a simpler and more efficient workflow for web development.
Bundling JavaScript
This feature allows you to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single output file, which can be used in a browser or other JavaScript environments.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Minifying JavaScript
This feature enables the minification of JavaScript code to reduce file size, which is beneficial for faster loading times in production environments.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
minify: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Transpiling TypeScript
This feature allows you to transpile TypeScript code into JavaScript, enabling you to use TypeScript's features while maintaining compatibility with JavaScript environments.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.ts'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
JSX Support
This feature provides support for JSX syntax, commonly used in React applications, allowing you to bundle and transpile JSX files directly.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.jsx'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can handle not only JavaScript but also assets like images, fonts, and stylesheets. It has a larger ecosystem of plugins and loaders, allowing for a highly customizable build process. Compared to esbuild, webpack is more established but generally slower due to its more complex features.
Rollup is another JavaScript module bundler that is well-suited for libraries and applications. It uses a different approach to bundling than webpack, focusing on the efficiency of the final bundle. Rollup is known for producing smaller bundles, but esbuild is typically faster in terms of build speed.
Parcel is a web application bundler that offers a zero-configuration experience. It is designed to be fast and easy to use, automatically handling transformations and dependencies. While Parcel is user-friendly and fast, esbuild often outperforms it in terms of raw build speed.
Terser is a JavaScript parser, mangler, and compressor toolkit for ES6+. It is commonly used for minifying JavaScript files. Unlike esbuild, terser does not bundle files but focuses solely on minifying and optimizing JavaScript code.
This is the Windows 64-bit binary for esbuild, a JavaScript bundler and minifier. See https://github.com/evanw/esbuild for details.
0.24.0
This release deliberately contains backwards-incompatible changes. To avoid automatically picking up releases like this, you should either be pinning the exact version of esbuild
in your package.json
file (recommended) or be using a version range syntax that only accepts patch upgrades such as ^0.23.0
or ~0.23.0
. See npm's documentation about semver for more information.
Drop support for older platforms (#3902)
This release drops support for the following operating system:
This is because the Go programming language dropped support for this operating system version in Go 1.23, and this release updates esbuild from Go 1.22 to Go 1.23. Go 1.23 now requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later.
Note that this only affects the binary esbuild executables that are published to the esbuild npm package. It's still possible to compile esbuild's source code for these older operating systems. If you need to, you can compile esbuild for yourself using an older version of the Go compiler (before Go version 1.23). That might look something like this:
git clone https://github.com/evanw/esbuild.git
cd esbuild
go build ./cmd/esbuild
./esbuild --version
Fix class field decorators in TypeScript if useDefineForClassFields
is false
(#3913)
Setting the useDefineForClassFields
flag to false
in tsconfig.json
means class fields use the legacy TypeScript behavior instead of the standard JavaScript behavior. Specifically they use assign semantics instead of define semantics (e.g. setters are triggered) and fields without an initializer are not initialized at all. However, when this legacy behavior is combined with standard JavaScript decorators, TypeScript switches to always initializing all fields, even those without initializers. Previously esbuild incorrectly continued to omit field initializers for this edge case. These field initializers in this case should now be emitted starting with this release.
Avoid incorrect cycle warning with tsconfig.json
multiple inheritance (#3898)
TypeScript 5.0 introduced multiple inheritance for tsconfig.json
files where extends
can be an array of file paths. Previously esbuild would incorrectly treat files encountered more than once when processing separate subtrees of the multiple inheritance hierarchy as an inheritance cycle. With this release, tsconfig.json
files containing this edge case should work correctly without generating a warning.
Handle Yarn Plug'n'Play stack overflow with tsconfig.json
(#3915)
Previously a tsconfig.json
file that extends
another file in a package with an exports
map could cause a stack overflow when Yarn's Plug'n'Play resolution was active. This edge case should work now starting with this release.
Work around more issues with Deno 1.31+ (#3917)
This version of Deno broke the stdin
and stdout
properties on command objects for inherited streams, which matters when you run esbuild's Deno module as the entry point (i.e. when import.meta.main
is true
). Previously esbuild would crash in Deno 1.31+ if you ran esbuild like that. This should be fixed starting with this release.
This fix was contributed by @Joshix-1.
