JHipster release v5.2.1

JHipster v5.2.1 has the following 2 important changes:

  • Fix OAuth2 authentication for microservices, which was broken in 5.2.0 #8092.
  • Upgrade to NG Bootstrap 3.0 #8094.

It also comes with our new “statistics” code: when asked if you want to send us anonymous statistics, please answer “Yes” so you can help us improve the generator.

We will then deploy our new “statistics” endpoint on https://start.jhipster.tech/, and we will publicly provide usage reports. We hope this will help everyone (and not just us) in their technology choices, as we should have usage data from thousands of real-world applications.

How to upgrade

Automatic upgrade

For an automatic upgrade, use the JHipster upgrade sub-generator on an existing application:

Upgrade your version of JHipster:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

And then run the upgrade sub-generator:

jhipster upgrade

Manual upgrades

For a manual upgrade, first upgrade your version of JHipster with:

yarn global upgrade generator-jhipster

If you have an existing project, it will still use the JHipster version with which it was generated. To upgrade your project, you must first delete its node_modules folder and then run:

You can also update your project and all its entities by running

jhipster --with-entities

You can also update your entities one-by-one by running again the entity sub-generator, for example if your entity is named Foo

jhipster entity Foo
