HHVM 4.34 is released! This release marks the end of support for 4.28; 4.29–4.33 remain supported, as does the 4.8 LTS release.

Highlights

• Added hh_client --concatenate-all path/ [morepaths/ ...], which creates a single-file version of a Hack project. This respects required inclusion order (e.g. parent classes before child classes), and resolves syntax issues such as namespace declarations and potentially conflicting use statements. Example usage:
  • hh_client --concatenate-all src/ for a library
  • hh_client --concatenate-all src/ vendor/ bin/foo.hack for an executable

Breaking Changes

• It is now always a type error to use self::abstractStaticMethod() to call an abstract static method inside a trait. Previously, this was only a type error if any classes used the trait without implementing the respective method. The new behavior is consistent with abstract classes, where calling self::abstractStaticMethod() was already an error. Use static::abstractStaticMethod() instead (note that this may change the behavior in some cases, but most likely the new behavior better captures the original intent of the code).
• Type errors about incorrectly overridden type constants are now reported in the child class that overrides the constant, not in the parent class that declares it. This may require some HH_FIXMEs to be moved from a parent class to its child classes.
