Rome v10; Parcel v2.8.0; TAP formatter for node:test; pnpm v7.15.0; npm v9.0.0; Safari Technology Preview 157

We are thrilled to announce Rome v10, the first stable release since the start of the Rust rewrite. Rome is an ambitious project aiming to unify the dozens of frontend language tools into a single easy-to-use tool built from scratch.

This release includes our fast linter and formatter; they require minimal configuration, come with beautiful and descriptive diagnostics, and have built-in support for JavaScript and TypeScript.

• New bundling algorithm with improved automatic code splitting: 2.7 times faster, 2.5 times smaller
• Incremental bundling: 10 times faster rebuilds
• 6 times faster hot module reloading (HMR)
• Better tree shaking with code splitting: up to 50% smaller entry bundles

A micro TAP formatter that works very well with the Node >=18 built-in node:test harness.

• The output format is inspired by AVA.
• Less than 100 lines of code, and a single chalk dependency.

• Support --format=json option to output outdated packages in JSON format with outdated command.
• A new setting supported for ignoring vulnerabilities by their CVEs. The ignored CVEs may be listed in the pnpm.auditConfig.ignoreCves field of package.json.
