v2.7.0

New Features

• Adds Polymer.legacyOptimizations flag
  • avoids copying element templates (this disables subclassing elements from defined with Polymer() calls)
  • turns on stripWhitespace for all templates.
  • Properties defined via behaviors or the call to Polymer() are copied at the first instance booting up.
• Adds Polymer.strictTemplatePolicy flag
  • Strict Template Policy prevents a class of "template injection" attacks against element registration
  • All "self-stamping" templates including <dom-bind>, <dom-repeat>, and <dom-if> will throw errors and not stamp if not originating from inside the template of a trusted element registered via script
  • Re-registration of <dom-module> will throw and cause template lookup for that element name to return null
  • Elements that do not have templates by design must explicitly indicate a null template to prevent template retrieval from injected <dom-module>s, otherwise they will throw an error

Meaningful Changes

• Behaviors:
  • Now mixed in lazily rather than at class time. This change means behaviors are no longer in the element's prototype chain.
  • A memoized list of behavior lifecycle methods is constructed at finalization time and then used at runtime.
• TemplateStamp: A TreeWalker is now used to crawl through template nodes. This should be slightly faster when the ShadyDOM polyfill is used.
• Polymer.telemetry: now properly records registered elements, even if they have not been created

Stable release v3.1.0

New Features

• Added LegacyDataMixin to optionally use Polymer v1's behavior in handling of undefined in data bindings.
  • Intended to help larger apps transition from Polymer v1 to v3.
• Implement opt-in strictTemplatePolicy to protect against XSS attacks with templating
  • Enabling strictTemplatePolicy by calling setStrictTemplatePolicy(true) setting causes the following changes in behavior:
    • All "self-stamping" templates including <dom-bind>, <dom-repeat>, and <dom-if> will throw errors and not stamp if not originating from inside the template of a trusted element registered via script.
    • Template retrieval from <dom-module> is disabled (since templates should be defined inline in JS via static get template() using the html tag function).
    • Legacy <dom-module> template lookup can be re-enabled via setAllowTemplateFromDomModule(true) setting; under that setting, the following additional behavior will apply:
      • Re-registration of <dom-module> will throw and cause template lookup for that element name to return null.
      • Elements that do not have templates by design must explicitly indicate a null template to prevent template retrieval from inject <dom-module>s, otherwise they will throw an error

Meaningful Changes

• A LOT of typing improvements for both Typescript and Closure compiler
• Add back ability to set window.Polymer.sanitizeDOMValue before Polymer loads
• Fix data-binding notification events when the bound element has children.
• Make sure static get properties() is only read once.

Stable Release 3.0

Breaking Changes

• As announced previously, we're using ES Modules now! You'll need to convert your HTML Imports files to modules either manually, or using our modulizer tool.
• With the ES Module change, a lot of API names have shortened now that they don't use the Polymer global. Here's an example:
  • Before:

    <link rel="import" href="polymer/lib/utils/case-map.html">
    <script>Polymer.CaseMap</script>

    After:

    import {CaseMap} from "@polymer/polymer/lib/utils/case-map.js";

• However, Polymer.Element became PolymerElement, as Element would shadow over the native Element class.
• importHref() functionality is removed, please use the ES Module equivalent: import('path/to/module.js' )
  • Polymer CLI tooling and Webpack will automatically fix this up for browsers that don't support ES Modules.

v2.6.0

New Features

• Added the disable-upgrade feature from Polymer 1 as a mixin
• Add _shouldPropertiesChange method to customize when _propertiesChanged is called
  • This method gets the current, pending, and old property values and returns a boolean. If _shouldPropertiesChange returns true, _propertiesChanged is called.

Meaningful Changes

• <style include> values are now deduplicated to prevent unexpected conflicts
• static get template() {return null} can now be used to disable inheriting a template from a superclass
• tap gesture now correctly handles the disabled attribute
• click will no longer be squelched if a <label for> is tapped

  • Bindings of the form <svg viewBox="[[value]]">
