Cesium v1.96 Release Notes

Release Date: 2022-08-01 // over 1 year ago
  • Major Announcements :loudspeaker:
    • ⚡️ Built Cesium.js is no longer AMD format. This may or may not be a breaking change depending on how you use Cesium in your app. See our blog post for the full details. #10399
      • Built Cesium.js has gone from 12.5MB to 8.4MB unminified and from 4.3MB to 3.6MB minified. Cesium.js.map has gone from 22MB to 17.2MB.
      • If you were ingesting individual ESM-style modules from the combined file Build/Cesium/Cesium.js or Build/CesiumUnminified/Cesium.js, instead use Build/Cesium/index.js or Build/CesiumUnminified/index.js respectively.
      • Using ESM from Source will require a bundler to resolve third party node dependencies.
      • CESIUM_BASE_URL should be set to either Build/Cesium or Build/CesiumUnminified.
