Release notes

If upgrading from Scala.js 0.6.x, make sure to read the release notes of Scala.js 1.0.0` first, as it contains a host of important information, including breaking changes.

As a patch release, 1.0.1 is backward and forward binary compatible with 1.0.0. Libraries compiled with 1.0.0 can be used with 1.0.1 without change, and conversely. As a reminder, libraries compiled with 0.6.x cannot be used with Scala.js 1.x; they must be republished with 1.x first.

Miscellaneous

Upgrade to GCC v20200101

The Google Closure Compiler used internally by Scala.js for fullOptJS has been upgraded to v20200101.

Among others, the following bugs have been fixed in 1.0.1:

  • #3950 Static forwarders are not generated for static nested objects
  • #3984 (-0.0).getClass() returns classOf[Integer] instead of classOf[Float]
