#1

Hi all, bs-platform@7.0.0 is released, check two separate posts for what’s new.

A list of changes are available here
Currently you can try it via
npm i -g bs-platform@7.0.0
Once no serious issue founded, we will make it default for new users.
Happy Hacking !

Edit: there are something going wrong for Windows, we will publish a minor release for Windows soon

#2

Would it be possible to update an existing ReasonReact app to use bs-platform@7.0.0?

#3

Yes, it is a non breaking change unless you rely on the internal representation for FFI

#4

UPDATE: FIXED

Nevermind I just had to upgrade gentype, I will leave my post below incase someone else runs into the same problems

I tried upgrading but I get Fatal error: exception Cmi_format.Error(_)

Upgrade process:

  1. npx bsb -clean-world
  2. npm i -g bs-platform@7.0.0
  3. yarn add -D bs-platform@7.0.0
  4. yarn re:watch --> (bsb -make-world -clean-world -w)
