What’s New in This Guide for Release 5.2.0

For Oracle JET Release 5.2.0 this guide has been updated in several ways.

The following changes were made throughout the book since Oracle JET Release 5.1.0.

  • Removed references to the ES6 Promise polyfill from define code blocks in .js file samples. An explicit reference to the Promise polyfill should not be made in the define block, as this polyfill is included as a dependency of the ojcore module.

The following table lists the sections that are new or changed since Oracle JET Release 5.1.0.

For changes made to Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) for this release, see the product Release Notes.
