A .d.ts file from a few days ago did have a couple errors in a project of mine. One was with Immutable, I think. Will get the beta one tomorrow.

BTW, what version is this being transpiled with?

3

We use TS 3.3.3

feel free to report here if the problem can be repro

From beta, I get this visual & transpile message:

using TS 2.7.2. The 2.8.x caused a problem a long time ago, so I froze it. Is this syntax that requires a higher version?

Yes this requires TS3+ :slight_smile:

Thanks for awesome work guys.

I also found some inconsistencies with the typings. In the meshBuilder, the typings for the scene Attribute is for some functions: Scene, for others Nullable Scene and for some even any. Is this a feature or a bug?

7

All should be Nullable of scene.
Can you create an issue on the repo? I’ll make sure to fix that

8

Is there a list of new features for 4.0 somewhere? Looking forward to it!
