For more information, see [Upgrade the ServiceNow SDK](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=upgrade-servicenow-sdk&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US). | [ ] ## New features Between your current release family and Xanadu, new features were introduced for ServiceNow SDK. {#dfrn3-servicenowsdk-summary__entry__8} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | **Version 2.2.1** [Turn off synchronizing changes to ServiceNow Fluent code](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-fluent&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Turn off synchronizing changes to ServiceNow Fluent objects or files using the `@fluent-disable-sync` or `@fluent-disable-sync-for-file` comment directives. **Version 2.1.1** [Authenticate to an instance using OAuth 2.0](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=authenticate-instance-now-sdk&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Authenticate to a ServiceNow instance using OAuth 2.0 by setting the `type` parameter on the `now-sdk auth` command to `oauth`. [Ignore ServiceNow Fluent diagnostics](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-fluent&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Suppress ServiceNow Fluent and TypeScript diagnostics using the `@fluent-ignore` comment directive. **Version 2.0** [Build scoped applications in source code](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-fluent&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Write source code to define the metadata that makes up applications using ServiceNow Fluent. ServiceNow Fluent is a domain-specific programming language with APIs for defining the different types of application metadata. Developing applications in source code enables you to work in familiar development environments, create and modify complex applications, manage code in source control more easily, and catch errors at build time. [ServiceNow Fluent Language server in Visual Studio Code](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=install-fluent-language-extension-vs-code&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Get language processing and validation for ServiceNow Fluent in Visual Studio Code by installing the ServiceNow Fluent Language server from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Xanadu, some changes were made to existing ServiceNow SDK features. {#dfrn3-servicenowsdk-summary__entry__14} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | **Version 2.2.3** [Convert command uses module project type by default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : The `projectType` parameter is set to `module` by default. By converting an application with the module project type, you can gradually migrate application metadata into ServiceNow Fluent code rather than converting all application metadata into code initially. **Version 2.2.1** [transpiledSourceDir parameter replaced with modulePaths parameter in now.config.json file](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=building-applications-source-code&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Use the `modulePaths` parameter in the now.config.json file for your application to map the source directory for modules to the output directory for modules instead of the deprecated `transpiledSourceDir` parameter. The `modulePaths` parameter is used to compile TypeScript source files into JavaScript modules. **Version 2.1.1** [Table API includes label object](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=table-api-now-ts&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Configure field labels \[sys_documentation\] for tables and columns with the label object in the Table API. **Version 2.0.1** [Create and convert commands include template parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Specify whether to use JavaScript or TypeScript in modules with the `template` parameter on the `now-sdk create` and `now-sdk convert` commands. This parameter determines the configuration of the package.json and now.config.json files and adds a tsconfig.json file for TypeScript projects. **Version 2.0** [Default application structure](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=building-applications-source-code&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : The default application structure includes some changes to directories and files, including the addition of a .gitignore file and moving the `now` object configuration in package.json to its own now.config.json file. [Create and convert commands include project-type parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=servicenow-sdk-cli-commands&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Specify the type of application to create or convert with the `project-type` parameter on the `now-sdk create` and `now-sdk convert` commands. This parameter determines the default application structure based on whether you want to use ServiceNow Fluent and JavaScript modules and third-party libraries in the application (`fluent`) or only use JavaScript modules and third-party libraries (`module`). [Fetch command includes debug parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-fetch-command&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Return debug logs generated during the fetch process by setting the `debug` parameter to true with the `now-sdk fetch` command. [Deploy command includes reinstall parameter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-sdk-deploy-command&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) : Uninstall and reinstall the application on the instance by setting the `reinstall` parameter to true with the `now-sdk deploy` command. Reinstalling an application ensures that the metadata on the instance matches the metadata in the deployment package. Warning: Metadata that is on the instance but not in your local application is removed. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Xanadu, some ServiceNow SDK features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-servicenowsdk-summary__entry__20} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Washington DC | No updates for this release. | | Xanadu | * The `scopeId` parameter was removed from the `now-sdk convert` command, which supported converting global applications.
