[Apologies for broad distribution.]
Hello, potential CEP panel developers!
Changes to CEP's Node.js handling are required, between CEP7 and CEP8; this will break existing Node.js usage, in CEP extensions.
We apologize in advance for the breaking change; we wouldn't make these changes if they weren't required to maintain Adobe's security standards.
Good news: While CEP8 applications are not yet available, we can provide a good understanding of the required changes, today.
Attached are a migration guide, and additional details about Node.js enablement in various JavaScript contexts; the information you'll need to make your existing panels compatible with forthcoming CEP8 hosts.
If you'd like to test your panels in CEP8 applications, either reach out to your product team contacts, or go here to apply for pre-release access to applications which rely upon CEP8: https://www.adobeprerelease.com
