Type Definitions for writer and substance
Two new public npm packages have been published which add type definitions for writer and substance modules. This is useful for third party plugin developers to gain (partial) intellisense when importing classes, functions, utils, etc from either module. These are published in beta state for a while and have been tested to work in Visual Studio Code. Installation instructions can be found on npm.
Writer Config Tool
A helpful tool has been developed to simplify writer-client configuration file upgrade between writer versions. Upload a writer-client configuration file, set target writer version, then click upgrade. Only plugin versions are updated! Review the upgrade report and change the configuration using the editor. When ready just save the new updated configuration.
This tool could also be used to upgrade all plugin versions for the current writer versions, just set the target writer version to the one currently used by the customer.
