jhipster/generator-jhipster v9.2.0 on GitHub

What's changed

JHipster 9.2.0 is a polish release for v9. It focuses on finishing the move to Vitest on the frontend, tightening generated backend security and validation, fixing a few high-impact generation bugs, and continuing the TypeScript and template cleanup across the generator.

🌟 Highlights

🧩 Templates and internal improvements

Our 3000+ EJS templates are now checked and formatted by eslint
Improved blueprint generation and internals with stronger generate-blueprint typing and compatibility, reworked bootstrap generator composition, and MemFsEditorFile integration

🍃 Spring Boot and security

Upgraded to Spring Boot 4.0.7 and improved generated backend hardening with a safer AccountResource
An application generation fix restores initial project generation without requiring --force in the affected scenarios
Reactive generated entities avoid negative BigDecimal scales (#33751) and Neo4j samples add BlockHound customization (#33816)

🖥️ Frontend

Vitest is now the only generated frontend test framework, with Jest removal from client choices and Angular cleanup of leftover Jest conditionals
Generated frontend behavior is more reliable across frameworks with PUT support for entities without autogenerated IDs, a React entity creation fix, and a Vue Boolean field rendering fix
Vue webpack microservice samples now use Vite, and the selected auth option is preserved when generating client apps with --skip-server
