It’s been five months since I last wrote one of these community updates, but not because there haven’t been any updates to give… au contraire, I have a ton of links for you to check out, so let’s dive into it!

CanJS 5

CanJS 5 was released in July! It includes features such as having a tree-shakeable main module, first-class webpack support, simple model mixins for easier can-connect integration, more powerful and easier query logic configuration for can-connect, and more. Read the CanJS 5 blog post for all the details.

Since then, dozens of releases have been made, including:

New CanJS 5 stache syntax

Ahh, the #for(of) and let syntax is a breath of fresh air.

StealJS 2

StealJS 2 was also released in July! It includes best-in-class tree shaking support, native Promises used by default, simplified demo pages, increased dev code removal, and more!

Since then, steal 2.1 was released with support for importing modules from http, https, and // as specifiers:
