Wanted to give as advanced notice as possible as Esri updated their Next JS API GitHub with the 4.29 change notices yesterday.
Per the change log "The esri-loader library is deprecated at version 4.29. Use components or the @ArcGIS/core ES modules instead."
Additionally, there're a host of other breaking changes in this release. I've catalogued them below, but the full list of recent deprecations and breaking changes are available via the above links:
- At version 4.29, only WebGL2-enabled browsers are supported for both 2D and 3D. See the System Requirements for more information. (here's the support matrix)
- For local builds, using Webpack versions prior to 5.84.0 is not recommended for 4.29. This is related to bug fixes in Webpack.
- Removal of FetchPopupFeaturesResult members in the Popup class. The FetchPopupFeaturesResult type definition in the Popup class had the following properties removed from the API at this release: FetchPopupFeaturesResult.clientOnlyGraphics, FetchPopupFeaturesResult.promisesPerLayerView, FetchPopupFeaturesPromisesPerLayerView
