Matthew posted an overview of a strategy to modernize Fanton's JavaScript infrastructure in post 2894. This work is fully completed and included in this build. This work allows JavaScript and TypeScript developers to consume Fantom APIs using modern conventions.
There are now two JavaScript compilers:
compilerJs: original compiler
compilerEs: new compiler
For backward compatibility, all the pods are still compiled using the original JS compiler and put the JS files in "/podName.js". The new compiler generates its artifacts under the "js/" directory in the pod zip:
podName.js (common JS module)
podName.mjs (ECMAScript module)
podName.d.ts (TypeScript declaration file)
If you are using the web::FilePack APIs to build your JS bundles, then you can toggle between the old and new JS designs via the nodoc WebJsMode class.
We will continue to support the old JS compiler for at least another year, but please make a plan to transition to the new JS design.
FWT
We have moved the original fwt and flux pods into a separate repo as proposed in post 2893. So the following pods are no longer included in the distribution:
gfx
fwt
webfwt
icons
flux
fluxText
Jwt
We have added a new crypto::Jwt class for both encoding and decoding JSON Web Tokens. This work also includes support for JSON Web Keys (JWK).

Build 1.0.80 wasn't available on Homebrew earlier today, but it is now! :)

The hyperlink on Download page under Windows "fantom-1.0.80.exe" is broken .. getting a 404. Just FYI. :)
The Windows installer is not released by the Fantom guys, but by myself. So whenever a new Fantom release is dropped it takes me a small while to play catchup and create the new installer. Should be there now though.

Hi Gary, the Windows Installer for Fantom 1.0.80 should now be available.
The Windows installer is not released by the Fantom guys, but by myself. So whenever a new Fantom release is dropped it takes me a small while to play catchup and create the new installer. Should be there now though.
Thanks for the nudge! :)
