Now that rules_nodejs 0.16.8 supports installing Bazel workspaces out of npm packages, rules_typescript uses this mechanism.

BREAKING CHANGES

• We no longer recommend fetching rules_typescript at all. Instead, just include an npm dependency on @bazel/typescript and/or @bazel/karma and call the installer with

  load("@npm//:install_bazel_dependencies.bzl", "install_bazel_dependencies") install_bazel_dependencies() 

  after your yarn_install or npm_install is done. See the updated README.md.
• Karma rules (ts_web_test, ts_web_test_suite) are now loaded from @build_bazel_rules_karma workspace rather than @build_bazel_rules_typescript

Other updates

• You no longer need to install any Go-related rules. All our Go programs are now distributed as pre-compiled binaries for each of the three major platforms.
• Karma stack traces are cleaned up, see #369
• The rules_typescript_dependencies function is deprecated. You can remove usage of it.
• New rules karma_web_test and karma_web_test_suite which allow you to pass a karma.conf.js. These are needed for testing on Saucelabs. We don't have API docs for these yet, because our doc publishing is affected by refactoring (we expect these will move to rules_nodejs for the next release). See usage in examples/testing
• Our Go-based devserver binary runs on Windows, but we are still making fixes to the rules to work on Windows.
• The tsc_wrapped binary is getting a special hook to run Angular's new ngtsc compiler
• We no longer depend on a fork of the Karma project. Changes needed for ibazel were released in Karma 4.0.0
• Performance improvement to our static analyzer, http://tsetse.info

Add ts_devserver support for injecting script tags and minor bug fixes

Release 0.21 had a major flaw. First, during a refactoring we lost the test coverage for compilation failures. Then, during a refactoring we accidentally dropped the diagnostic gathering, so TypeScript files were not actually type-checked.

This release also fixes a warning about deprecated Buffer constructor

BREAKING CHANGES:

• rules_typescript_dependencies() will no longer install transitive dependencies of build_bazel_rules_nodejs. User WORKSPACE files will now need to install rules_nodejs transitive deps directly:

  load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:package.bzl", "rules_nodejs_dependencies") rules_nodejs_dependencies() 

This release contained a critical bug: no TypeScript diagnostics were gathered, including type-checking

Features:

• Support --nolegacy_external_runfiles bazel flag
• Support rules_webtesting Firefox karma tests
• Disable Chrome sandbox when unavailable
• New attribute on ts_web_test http://tsetse.info/api/karma/ts_web_test.html#ts_web_test.runtime_deps

Breaking changes:
If you use the internal API of tsc_wrapped you need to update the CompilerHost constructor calls to account for a removed parameter.

BREAKING CHANGES:

• now depends on rules_nodejs 0.15 which has a breaking change to fine-grained npm package deps

DO NOT USE

Broken release, use 0.20.1 instead.

Breaking changes:

• Now requires Bazel 0.17.1 or later, for @ support in labels
• New tsetse check https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_typescript/blob/master/docs/ban-promise-as-condition.md
• target @build_bazel_rules_typescript//:karma/karma is removed, you can use @npm//:@bazel/karma/karma instead

Breaking Changes:

ts_library and ts_web_test_suite rules attributes now default to use bazel managed deps downstream and depend on a user installing @bazel/typescript and @bazel/karma deps with yarn_install or npm_install into an @npm workspace. See README for more information.
