If you didn't try it out, time to jump into type-aware linting with Oxlint. 👀

Want to see the Rust code that fixed the problem? Then check out the corresponding PR!

fix: track spans in member expression properties for accurate sourcemaps by IWANABETHATGUY · Pull Request #6100 · rolldown/rolldown

Closed #6099 The issue was already solved by #6091. This pr adds a test case for the sourcemapping generation

In the next version of @rolldown.rs, more accurate source maps are generated

Example: When an error occurs during property access

Before, the source map highlighted the right line, but not the property that caused issues. Now it points to the correct property, improving debugging experience and DX

More accurate source maps in Rolldown

Source code:

```js
import mod from './cjs.js'

const foo = mod.version.startsWith("1")
// Accessing `mod.version` throws an error
console.log(foo)
```

The first (inaccurate) stacktrace shows the error at 3:7 (which is "foo").
The second stacktrace shows the error at 3:17, which is the position of the property "version" and the actual location of the error.

Rolldown drops CJS support!

From the latest version of @rolldown.rs (1.0.0-beta.36) on, Rolldown will only be released in the ESM format.

The required Node version has also been bumped to align with @vite.dev (20.19+ and 22.12+). Node 18 has been dropped due to being EOL since April.

🤯 How to Run Oxlint

◆ Without type-aware linting: It is super simple! Just run `pnpm dlx oxlint` (or the equivalent for the pkg manager you use)

◆ With type-aware linting: You first need to install `oxlint-tsgolint` via `pnpm add -D oxlint-tsgolint@latest`. Then, run `pnpm dlx oxlint --type-aware`
