What's new

bun init quickly start a new, empty project that uses Bun (similar to npm init). bun init is a new subcommand in bun.

bun install now supports private npm registries & scoped (authenticated) packages

Thank you @soneymathew for your help with this.

bun install now supports lifecycle hooks for project-level package.json (not dependencies)

It runs postinstall scripts for your app's package.json, but ignores dependencies lifecycle hooks. This lets you use husky, lint-staged, and other postinstall-dependent packages tools

More new stuff:

• express is partially supported, thanks to @zhuzilin and @evanwashere. There is a lot more work to be done - it's not fast yet and it logs a spurious error on request, but it is better than not working
• bun create now lets you specify a start command so that you can say how to run the program in the output
• process.revision has the git sha that bun was built with

[joezak11]

after upgrading from v0.1.6 to v0.1.7 I started getting the good old illegal hardware instruction (core dumped) again XD

[Jarred-Sumner]

Can you paste a screenshot? It should print something like this

[dom-inic]

I had to force quit and check the version to see that bun has been updated.

[R0N1n-dev]

Getting illegal instruction with any bun command, including bun --help.
Tried canary and baseline and baseline canary build.

'''''IllLLLLLLLEGGGGALLLL INSTRUCTION''''''''.
Forgive the exaggerated spelling but, after having my issues closed for the same thing and being called duplicates, i feel i need to shout now to get my point across and be very clear

'ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION'
Tried 3 suggested solutions
0.1.7 , 0.1.7 baseline and baseline canary.

[Jarred-Sumner]

After the current GitHub actions run completes, there's a good chance canary will be fixed

[PiyushSuthar]

just installed the latest canary and it worked.

How often can we expect a raise in requirement on GLIBC? I ask, because on Ubuntu 18.04 lts you need to manually build it as 2.27 is latest package. I can upgrade to 20 lts but will I have to constantly do it to run bun? No problem for production as I use container and can set it up as I wish, but for development its annoying.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Probably once every 1-2 years.

The glibc requirement is the lowest I could figure out how to work. WebKit depends on C++ 20, but Linux distributions with glibc 2.27 and C++ 20 support are hard to find.
