6.8.0 on npm

[appedemic]

protobuf.js version: 6.8.0

When installing with npm, I expected 6.8.0 to be installed but 6.7.3 is installed instead

npm install protobufjs

Please address this. The version on npm doesn't actually have decorator support, which is referenced directly in the current documentation.

npm install https://github.com/dcodeIO/protobuf.js
The best we can do until its updated on npm.

Currently going through the issues so I can publish 6.8.0. If you have some time, feel free to test master and let me know of any issues so I can fix them before publishing.

I'm using master (compiled manually) in my typescript project and the only issues I've had so far were some typing problems:

• keeping @types/node in production dependencies conflicted with my project's own installation from npm (though that might not actually be a problem in normal usage, I'm keeping the package in a separate manually managed node_modules)
• the codegen typings seem to have some issues with the latest version of typescript. Namely codegen.d.ts in the lib directory:

file: 'file:///.../src/node_modules/protobufjs/lib/codegen/index.d.ts'
severity: 'Error'
message: 'A 'declare' modifier is required for a top level declaration in a .d.ts file.'
at: '27,1'
source: 'ts'

I solved these by just ignoring the offending files in my tsconfig.json

"exclude": [
    "./node_modules",
    "./src/node_modules/protobufjs/node_modules/@types/node",
    "./src/node_modules/protobufjs/**/codegen/*.d.ts"
]
