# Change Log - PowerBI Visual Tools (pbiviz)

This page contains information about changes to the PowerBI Visual Tools (pbiviz).

## 7.0.3
* Fixed missing validation for `author` object in pbiviz.json. The `author` object with `name` and `email` fields is now required.
* Updated packages.

## 7.0.2
* Changed source map generation to `eval-source-map`.
* Fixed load source map error.
* Updated packages.

## 7.0.1
* Fixed issue with missing `lib/*` files in latest versions.
* Updated packages

## 7.0.0
* **BREAKING CHANGE**: Removed Node.js polyfills from webpack configuration for improved security and reduced bundle size. Node.js modules (crypto, buffer, stream, etc.) are no longer automatically available in the browser environment.
* Removed browserify polyfill packages from dependencies (assert, buffer, crypto-browserify, console-browserify, constants-browserify, domain-browser, events, https-browserify, os-browserify, path-browserify, process, punycode, querystring-es3, readable-stream, stream-browserify, stream-http, string_decoder, timers-browserify, tty-browserify, url, util, vm-browserify, browserify-zlib)
* **Action Required**: Review your visual code for Node.js module usage and remove them or update to browser-compatible alternatives

## 6.2.0
* Changed source map generation to `inline-source-map`. It includes source maps into the end of file instead of separate one. It's required because of latest changes in Power BI that forbids loading `.map` files.
* Updated packages

## 6.1.2
* Fixed issue with `process/browser` not being resolved correctly in webpack config

## 6.1.1
* Fixed bug with source maps generation (now using `eval-source-map` instead of `source-map`)

## 6.1.0
* Added `--certification-audit` flag to `pbiviz package` command. It audits the visual package for possible certification issues.
* Added `--certification-fix` flag to `pbiviz package` command. It fixes found certification issues in the visual package. Please carefully test the built package to ensure its functionality is not broken after that.

## 6.0.0
* **Introduced pbiviz.js support.** This feature allows generate configuration dynamically using benefits of JavaScript.
  It allows you to easily use any js logic to build your pbiviz file using environment variables or other parameters.
* Updated dependencies to the latest versions.

## 5.6.0
* Updated to ESLint v9
* Updated to TypeScript v5
* `--use-default` flag for `pbiviz package` and `pbiviz lint` commands is deprecated. Recommeded config is used by default

## 5.5.1
* Fixed subtotal feature check

## 5.5.0
* Changed path for storing certificates. It allows the certificate to be reused regardless of tools version. New path is `({home directory}/pbiviz-certs)`.
* Windows version lower 10 is deprecated.
* Resolve of symlinks is disabled.

## 5.4.3
* Fixed bug with missing plugins for Eslint.
* New flag `--use-default` for `pbiviz package` and `pbiviz lint` commands. Use this command to lint files according to recommended lint config.

## 5.4.2
* Added the **node: false** option to the webpack plugin to eliminate the use of the potentially dangerous **new Function()** method, which ensures compatibility with the Node.js runtime.
* Introduced support for *.mjs ECMAScript modules.

## 5.4.1
* Updated R-based visuals settings.ts file to work properly with the new API

## 5.4.0
* Updated packages
* New command `pbiviz lint` to run lint check from tools. It'll use eslintrc file from the root of the visual, if there is no such file, recommended one will be used instead.

## 5.3.0
* Updated packages
* Updated to Typescript 5.0 **⚠**
* New flag `--pbiviz-file` to specify path to pbiviz.json file

## 5.2.1
* Fixed errors output when packaging the visual
* Fixed `RHTML` template render error

## 5.2.0
* Integrated PAC validation

## 5.1.1
* Updated crypto import to fix error in old Node versions

## 5.1.0
* New flag `--skip-api` to skip verifying api version. It might produce different errors in visual, so use it only in some specific cases (ex. installing something during the build process brakes packages managed by monorepo managers).
* New flag `--all-locales` to disable optimization using localization loader. It's recommended not to use this flag because all locales take a huge amount of package size. If you need just a few of them follow [this guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/localization?tabs=English#step-5---add-a-resources-file-for-each-language). In this case, only declared in stringResources locales will be added to your visual package.
