Today the Ember project is releasing version 4.3 of Ember.js, Ember Data, and Ember CLI.
This release kicks off the 4.4 beta cycle for all sub-projects. We encourage our community (especially addon authors) to help test these beta builds and report any bugs before they are published as a final release in six weeks' time. The ember-try addon is a great way to continuously test your projects against the latest Ember releases.

Changes in Ember Data 4.3
Bug Fixes
Ember Data 4.3 introduced many bug fixes! Contributors to the project
were hard at work to address things that were reported between v3.28 and
v4.2.
Many of the bugfixes listed below have been backported to
v3.28. That means if you get the latest patch release of v3.28-v4.2,
you will get these benefits too.
The list below covers highlights only. See the commit history for a comprehensive list.

• Pushing records with duplicate identifiers does not cause duplicate records
  #7801.
• Fix a bug with encoding space characters when serializing query params
  #7834.
• Fix a regression where createRecord crashed when a setter which sets an
  attribute is involved in the createRecord.
• Fix a regression to support await for loading relationships
  #7684.
• …and more!

Features
Ember Data 4.3 introduced 4 features.

• Better debuggability! When your
  app is in DEBUG mode, it is now easier to dig into Store, Symbol, and
  RecordReference.
• Add support for Customizeable test setups
  as described in RFC 637.
• The Reference API is now compatible with autotracking.
• attributesDefinitionFor and relationshipsDefinitionFor have a
  simpler API,
  following RFC 794.

Deprecations
Ember Data 4.3 introduced 0 deprecations.
Support for the toJSON method on Ember Data records has been removed. It was deprecated in 3.x and slated for removal in 4.x.
If your app uses this method, follow the deprecation guide.
Some more previously-deprecated APIs were slated for removal in the 4.x
series, and have now been removed:

• Evented.
• Lifecycle events like didCreate.
• Default adapter. Adapter type must be specified now.
• Test registrations.
• belongs-to-push of record.
• mismatched-inverse.

Ember Data 4.3.0 commits.

Ember CLI
Ember CLI is the command line interface for managing and packaging Ember.js applications.
Upgrading Ember CLI
You may upgrade Ember CLI using the ember-cli-update project:
npx ember-cli-update

This utility will help you to update your app or addon to the latest Ember CLI version. You will probably encounter merge conflicts, in which the default behavior is to let you resolve conflicts on your own. For more information on the ember-cli-update project, see the GitHub README.
While it is recommended to keep Ember CLI versions in sync with Ember and Ember Data, this is not required. After updating ember-cli, you can keep your current version(s) of Ember or Ember Data by editing package.json to revert the changes to the lines containing ember-source and ember-data.
Changes in Ember CLI 4.3
Bug Fixes
Ember CLI 4.3 introduced 1 bug fix.

• The broccoli debug folder is added to the gitignore file (#9680).

Features
Ember CLI 4.3 introduced 2 features.

• Customisation of setupTest* functions (#9803). This adds a tests/helpers/index.js file where setupApplicationTest, setupRenderingTest, and setupTest functions will be wrapped and exported, creating a single place to edit for each type of test setup. Tests generated using ember generate will import the setup functions from that file.
• Add support for specifying a path for the ember generate command (#9387). This allows you to run ember g ../../../node_modules/ember-source/blueprints/component to generate a component.

Deprecations
Ember CLI 4.3 introduced 1 deprecation.

• Deprecate Bower support (#9707). This implements the deprecation messages from RFC 772.

instructions, please review the Ember CLI 4.3.0 release page.
Thank You!
As a community-driven open-source project with an ambitious scope, each of these releases serves as a reminder that the Ember project would not have been possible without your continued support. We are extremely grateful to our contributors for their efforts.
