v0.38.1 is an monthly release with a lot of fixes and a few potentially breaking changes (this is a re-publish of v0.38.0, which had problems during initial npm publish).
Breaking Changes
#7926 Static transforms from superclasses are always applied
Before $config there was a limited amount of "automatic" re-use of the static transform by subclasses, because class inheritance also inherits static methods, so you get the implementation of whatever static transform method was in the superclass if it wasn't overridden.
Now the application of these static transforms (whether by method or $config) is implicit. There is no need to call super if adding an additional transform. The implementation walks up the inheritance tree by $config extends or Object.getPrototypeOf and will register all transforms it finds.
#7936 Extension configuration for CodeHighlighterShikiExtension has been flattened
If you are using CodeHighlighterShikiExtension the configuration has changed.
Before:
configExtension(CodeHighlighterShikiExtension, {tokenizer: {...ShikiTokenizer, defaultTheme: …})After:
configExtension(CodeHighlighterShikiExtension, {defaultTheme: …})#7933 LexicalTableSelectionHelpers listener priorities lowered to HIGH from CRITICAL
This is unlikely to break most applications but the priority of these command listeners has been lowered to allow them to be overridden.
