V1.8.20 - Bit — ContextQMD

title: v1.8.20 tag: v1.8.20 draft: false prerelease: false immutable: false author: GiladShoham created: 2024-08-04T15:02:25Z published: 2024-08-04T15:02:53Z url: https://github.com/teambit/bit/releases/tag/v1.8.20

Introduce Local Only Component workspace feature (#9059, #9057)
- Mark any number of components as Local Only with the new bit local-only set <component> command
- Local Only components allow you to avoid tagging/releasing specific components, even if they are modified, or their dependencies are modified.
- Scenario 1 - I have an app in the workspace, which I want to be able to bit run, but I don't want to trigger it's build, as I am focused only on the components, while the app itself will be built and released from a different workflow.
- Scenario 2 - I want to have a small component in my workspace as a basic "consumer" for my other components, and I don't want it published, as it is a testing environment for me and not a reuseable asset.

Jest upgraded from 26 to 29 for all core environments (#9015, #9052)
- Only relevant for teams who either directly use, or customize the following: teambit.react/react, teambit.harmony/node, teambit.react/react-native.
