Improvements

• core: sort modules topologically when invoking lifecycle hooks feat(core): use topological sort for lifecycle hooks #6236
• core: use class references as providers/controllers/injectables keys instead of their names
• feat(core): use class references as keys (container) #6141 fixes Dependency injector resolves dependencies using a class name instead of a class reference #5591 and Incorrect Controller initialization when using "import as" on same controller type from different folders #789
• core: BaseExceptionFilter supports http-errors (and any other error objects that have the statusCode property specified) out of the box now cdd51b0

Bug fixes

• common: add a missing type argument to mixin() function fix(types) adds types for mixin #6216

• core: deprecate the listenAsync() (use listen()) and startAllMicroservicesAsync() (use startAllMicroservices()) methods
• microservices: deprecate the listenAsync() method (use listen() instead)

alpha.4 is published now :)

[MickL]

Alpha 4 is working fine for me with Nats 2.x :) @kamilmysliwiec I see there are new logs (Nats Ping, Nats reconnect). Is it possible to configure this logging? E.g. I would like to not see the ping in the logs (over days and weeks it will spam the logs) and I want to see only one time reconnect (currently it spams one per second which would result in massive logs after 1 hour downtime).

@kamilmysliwiec to use v8 is enough to change the version of the packages in package.json or we need to do something else?

[kamilmysliwiec]

@gperdomor there are a few minor breaking changes. You can find the migration guide & instructions on the 8.0.0 branch of the docs https://github.com/nestjs/docs.nestjs.com/tree/8.0.0

Thanks for the response, one last question, I notice that @nestjs/passport has no v8 version, the actual version is usable with the v8 alpha?

This page https://github.com/nestjs/docs.nestjs.com/tree/8.0.0 seems to be broken.

Is there a reference guide I can refer to for move from v7.5 to v8
