New Feature

• Parse type parameter declarations with defaults like type Foo<T = string> = T

Bug Fixes

• Type parameter declarations need 1 or more type parameters.
• The existential type * is not a valid type parameter.
• The existential type * is a primary type

Spec Compliancy

• The param list for type parameter declarations now consists of TypeParameter nodes
• New TypeParameter AST Node (replaces using the Identifier node before)

interface TypeParameter <: Node {
  bound: TypeAnnotation;
  default: TypeAnnotation;
  name: string;
  variance: "plus" | "minus";
}

6.8.0 (2016-05-02)

New Feature

Parse Method Parameter Decorators (#12)

Method Parameter Decorators is now a TC39 stage 0 proposal.

Examples:

class Foo {
  constructor(@foo() x, @bar({ a: 123 }) @baz() y) {}
}

export default function func(@foo() x, @bar({ a: 123 }) @baz() y) {}

var obj = {
  method(@foo() x, @bar({ a: 123 }) @baz() y) {}
};

Parse for-await statements (w/ asyncGenerators plugin) (#17)

There is also a new node type, ForAwaitStatement.

Async generators and for-await are now a stage 2 proposal.

Example:

async function f() {
  for await (let x of y);
}
