GraphQL 1.8 is coming!
Hi!
A new version of GraphQL is just around the corner. Version 1.8.0 will be a big one because it contains a new class-based API for defining your schema and types. The new API is opt-in, gradually adoptable, and backwards-compatible. It's also a lot friendlier 😊
If you're interested in learning more before the forthcoming stable release, here are a few links:
- "Why a new Schema Definition API?"
- "Updating GitHub to GraphQL 1.8"
- Release tracking issue
- Guides
When you're ready to try it out, you'll find some prerelease versions on RubyGems.
I'm really excited about this feature and it wouldn't have been possible without my teammates at GitHub and friends in the community, so thanks to all of you!
While we're at it, here are a few other notable updates since the last email:
GraphQL v1.7.x:
