Release Notes Drop 3

Expect September to be relatively quiet, but we'll still release minor updates throughout the month. Drop 3 of the framework has a few changes to the property pane APIs in the sp-client-preview package, and some small fixes to the build toolchain.

#Getting the new bits Make sure that your @microsoft/generator-sharepoint npm package is version 0.1.2. To get the latest version, run npm i -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@latest

#Updating your existing projects

Getting your node modules set up correctly

1 - Open package.json and set the versions of the following packages:

• "@microsoft/sp-client-base": "~0.2.1"

• "@microsoft/sp-client-preview": "~0.3.0"

• "@microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench": "~0.3.0"

2 - Run npm update then npm prune then npm dedupe
This will update all the packages then optimize the node_modules folder size.

3 - Run gulp nuke to clean up any old build artifacts

4 - Run gulp to build your updated project

API Changes

OK, slight bit of confusion in our build / release pipeline. We grabbed the diff's from the daily build for the day, not the check pointed build that was released on the day. We will update this post shortly with the right information.

Tooling Changes

• combokeys added to typings in generated project (makes it easier to use the @microsoft/sp-module-loader)
• gulp --tasksno longer returns an error. Should make integration with IDEs like WebStorm easier
• The title and description of component feature XML is now correct.
