HHVM 4.167 is released! 4.164 - 4.166 remain supported, as do the 4.128 and 4.153 LTS releases.

Highlights

  • Hover information has improved for constants, type names and enum classes.
  • More of the built-in extensions (ext_json, ext_folly_variant, ext_thrift, ext_zlib, ext_server, ext_enum) have more extensive typing in their .hhi files, so the type checker can check code using them.
  • .hackpartial settings in .hhconfig have been removed, specifically allowed_fixme_codes_partial, codes_not_raised_partial and strict_codes.
  • hh_client now supports a --is-subtype to see if types are compatible, using JSON from --type-at-pos (commit).
  • HHVM now supports overriding type constants on interfaces, even if they’re not abstract (commit).
