Show full answer Show less  

## Important Upgrade Information

* Upgrade commands such as **now-sdk upgrade** are consistently used across releases to update the SDK version.
* ServiceNow SDK versions 3.0 and above support integration with ServiceNow instances starting from the Washington DC release.
* Windows users upgrading to SDK version 4.3 or later must re-authenticate using **now-sdk auth --add** due to credential storage changes.
* Refer to the ServiceNow SDK GitHub repository or Community articles for minor release details and upgrade procedures.

## New Features

* **Source Code Development:** ServiceNow Fluent enables defining application metadata in source code, improving development workflows, source control, and build-time error detection.
* **Authentication Enhancements:** OAuth 2.0 authentication for instances introduced.
* **Expanded Fluent APIs:** New APIs for Flow, Service Catalog, Email Notifications, SLAs, Dashboards, Workspaces, Import Sets, UI Policies, Script Actions, Script Includes, Service Portal, UI Actions, and UI Pages support comprehensive application development.
* **Application Scopes:** Australia release supports creating and converting global-scope applications accessible across global applications.
* **Customizable Build and Directory Structures:** Parameters like `taxonomy`, `modulePaths`, and module inclusion/exclusion options allow tailoring project organization and build outputs.
* **Full-Stack Development:** Integration with React library for UI development and support for full-stack TypeScript applications.
* **Additional Utility and Validation Types:** Utility types in Fluent APIs provide enhanced validation for Duration, Time, Field List, and Template Value properties.
* **Credential and Security Controls:** Trusted third-party modules configuration and ACL protection policies introduced.

## Changes and Improvements

* **Command Updates:** Deprecated commands replaced by newer commands and parameters (e.g., `now-sdk init` replaces `convert`, `transform` replaces `fetch`).
* **Project Structure:** Default application structures updated to separate configuration files and include .gitignore files.
* **Build and Deployment:** Build command no longer packages artifacts; packaging handled by `now-sdk pack` or `install`. Debug and reinstall parameters added for enhanced control.
* **TypeScript Support:** Improved type checking and validation for client-side and full-stack TypeScript projects.
* **Extended Column Types and Licensing:** Additional column types supported in Fluent APIs and licensing configurations added in Table API.
* **Flow API Enhancements:** Support for Service Catalog triggers and actions added.

## Removed and Deprecated Features

* **Removed:** Conversion of global applications via `scopeId` parameter; fetch and deploy commands no longer support `mode` parameter; some legacy commands removed as noted.
* **Deprecated:** Snake case property names in Fluent APIs deprecated in favor of camel case; certain commands replaced by new workflow commands.

## Activation and Requirements

* The ServiceNow SDK is distributed as an npm package available from the public npm registry and is installed locally.
* Node.js and npm must be installed to use the SDK across all releases.
* No new browser or accessibility requirements introduced between Xanadu and Australia releases.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

* Enables modern application development in source code with improved tooling, version control, and validation.
* Supports expanded APIs and capabilities to build comprehensive, full-stack ServiceNow applications.
* Improves upgrade experience with clear commands and authentication management.
* Offers flexibility in project structure and build processes, supporting enterprise development workflows.
* Introduces enhanced security and access control features for managing trusted modules and ACLs.

## Changes

Between your current release family and Australia, some changes were made to existing ServiceNow SDK features.  
{#dfrn3-servicenowsdk-summary__entry__22}

| Release | Release notes |
|-|-|
| Xanadu | **Version 2.2.3** [Convert command uses module project type by default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   The `projectType` parameter is set to `module` by default. By converting an application with the module project type, you can gradually migrate application metadata into ServiceNow Fluent code rather than converting all application metadata into code initially. **Version 2.2.1** [transpiledSourceDir parameter replaced with modulePaths parameter in now.config.json file](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=building-applications-source-code&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Use the `modulePaths` parameter in the now.config.json file for your application to map the source directory for modules to the output directory for modules instead of the deprecated `transpiledSourceDir` parameter. The `modulePaths` parameter is used to compile TypeScript source files into JavaScript modules. **Version 2.1.1** [Table API includes label object](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=table-api-now-ts&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Configure field labels \[sys_documentation\] for tables and columns with the label object in the Table API. **Version 2.0.1** [Create and convert commands include template parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Specify whether to use JavaScript or TypeScript in modules with the `template` parameter on the `now-sdk create` and `now-sdk convert` commands. This parameter determines the configuration of the package.json and now.config.json files and adds a tsconfig.json file for TypeScript projects. **Version 2.0** [Default application structure](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=building-applications-source-code&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   The default application structure includes some changes to directories and files, including the addition of a .gitignore file and moving the `now` object configuration in package.json to its own now.config.json file. [Create and convert commands include project-type parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Specify the type of application to create or convert with the `project-type` parameter on the `now-sdk create` and `now-sdk convert` commands. This parameter determines the default application structure based on whether you want to use ServiceNow Fluent and JavaScript modules and third-party libraries in the application (`fluent`) or only use JavaScript modules and third-party libraries (`module`). [Fetch command includes debug parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-fetch-command&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Return debug logs generated during the fetch process by setting the `debug` parameter to true with the `now-sdk fetch` command. [Deploy command includes reinstall parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-deploy-command&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) :   Uninstall and reinstall the application on the instance by setting the `reinstall` parameter to true with the `now-sdk deploy` command. Reinstalling an application ensures that the metadata on the instance matches the metadata in the deployment package. Warning: Metadata that is on the instance but not in your local application is removed. |
| Yokohama | [Subcommands replaced with parameters on the auth command](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-auth-command&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Configure authentication credentials with the `--add`, `--delete`, `--list`, and `--use` parameters of the `now-sdk auth` command.

[Build command includes --frozenKeys parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-build-command&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Validate that the auto-generated keys.ts file is up to date for continuous integration (CI) builds by setting the `--frozenKeys` parameter to true with the `now-sdk build` command. [Deploy command renamed install](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-deploy-command&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) :   Install or update an application on a ServiceNow instance using the `now-sdk install` command.
