Release Notes Drop 3

Expect September to be relatively quiet, but we'll still release minor updates throughout the month. Drop 3 of the framework has a few changes to the property pane APIs in the sp-client-preview package, and some small fixes to the build toolchain.

#Getting the new bits Make sure that your @microsoft/generator-sharepoint npm package is version 0.1.2. To get the latest version, run npm i -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@latest

#Updating your existing projects

Getting your node modules set up correctly

1 - Open package.json and set the versions of the following packages:

• "@microsoft/sp-client-base": "~0.2.1"

• "@microsoft/sp-client-preview": "~0.3.0"

• "@microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench": "~0.3.0"

2 - Run npm update then npm prune then npm dedupe
This will update all the packages then optimize the node_modules folder size.

3 - Run gulp nuke to clean up any old build artifacts

4 - Run gulp to build your updated project
