Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for google/closure-compiler focusing on delivering robust, per-file configurable Closure Unaware behavior, improved externs interoperability, and strengthened performance/debugging capabilities. This month consolidated closure-unaware handling into a default mode, migrated control to per-file annotations, and removed global opt-out flags, enabling safer incremental adoption and finer optimization granularity. We also expanded extern properties collection to include class fields and getter/setter methods, enhancing interop with external code. Performance and observability were improved via caching enhancements, better handling of TOP_OBJECT structures, and new runtime input pruning logs to aid debugging. Strengthened testing and tooling for closure-unaware features, including new Jasmine matchers, per-file configuration tests, crash repro tests, and improved runtime library injection coverage.

Nov 1, 2025Month: 2025-11 — google/closure-compiler monthly summary Key features delivered - Test infrastructure cleanup and OSS gating: reorganized PhaseOptimizer tests, excluded non-OSS components from builds, and added gating to improve CI reliability for open-source releases. - InstrumentAsyncContext: added globally unique synthetic names to prevent variable name collisions during instrumentation. - Transpilation/runtime library overhaul: introduced a dedicated RuntimeJsLibManager and runtime library management class; started tracking injected $jscomp.* fields, enhanced polyfill handling, and generated runtime metadata; added an experimental simple optimization/transpilation toggle for closureUnaware code. - Across-chunk robustness improvements: fixed property collapsing across chunks to prevent early references and added focused tests for conditional chunk loading. - Constant parameter annotation preservation: function parameter aliasing now preserves original const-ness by cloning the original parameter Node. Major bugs fixed - Stability fixes for ES6 Destructuring and Polyfill reporting: corrected incorrect scope-change reporting and temporary variable reporting during ES6-related transforms. - Preserve constant parameter annotations during function parameter aliasing: ensured const annotations propagate through new parameter aliases. - Build/test resource stability: resolved runtime resource dependency issues that caused open-source builds to fail (e.g., transpilation runtime metadata resources). Overall impact and accomplishments - Improved reliability and speed of open-source CI cycles, reduced false negatives in tests, and strengthened correctness of transpilation passes and instrumentation. The runtime library overhaul lays groundwork for more predictable runtime injections and better error reporting across transpiled code.
