Change Log

v0.13.0

  • [core] Switched the frontend application's shutdown hook from window.unload to window.beforeunload. #6530
  • [core] label providers can now notify that element labels and icons may have changed and should be refreshed #5884
  • [scm] added handling when opening diff-editors to respect preference workbench.list.openMode #6481

Breaking changes:

  • [core] renamed preference list.openMode to workbench.list.openMode #6481
  • [task] changed TaskSchemaUpdater.update() from asynchronous to synchronous #6483
  • [monaco] monaco prefix has been removed from commands #5590
  • [plugin] webviews are reimplemented to align with VS Code browser implementation #6465
    • Security: vscode.previewHTML is removed, see https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_33#_removing-the-vscodepreviewhtml-command
    • Security: Before all webviews were deployed on the same origin allowing them to break out and manipulate shared data as cookies, local storage or even start service workers for the main window as well as for each other. Now each webview will be deployed on own origin by default.
      • Webview origin pattern can be configured with THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINT env variable. The default value is {{uuid}}.webview.{{hostname}}. Here {{uuid}} and {{hostname}} are placeholders which get replaced at runtime with proper webview uuid and hostname correspondingly.
      • To switch to unsecure mode as before configure THEIA_WEBVIEW_EXTERNAL_ENDPOINT with {{hostname}} as a value. You can also drop {{uuid}}. prefix, in this case, webviews still will be able to access each other but not the main window.
    • Remote: Local URIs are resolved by default to the host serving Theia. If you want to resolve to another host or change how remote URIs are constructed then implement ExternalUriService.resolve in a frontend module.
    • Content loading: Webview HTTP endpoint is removed. Content loaded via WebviewResourceLoader JSON-RPC service with properly preserved resource URIs. Content is only loaded if it's allowed by WebviewOptions.localResourceRoots, otherwise, the service won't be called. If you want to customize content loading then implement WebviewResourceLoaderImpl in a backend module.
    • Theming: Theia styles are not applied to webviews anymore instead VS Code way of styling should be used. VS Code color variables also available with --theia prefix.
    • Testing: Webview can work only in secure context because they rely on service workers to load local content and redirect local to remote requests. Most browsers define a page as served from secure context if its url has https scheme. For local testing localhost is treated as a secure context as well. Unfortunately, it does not work nicely in FireFox, since it does not treat subdomains of localhost as secure as well, compare to Chrome. If you want to test with FireFox you can configure it as described here.
