Change the default "legal comment" behavior again (#2745)
The legal comments feature automatically gathers comments containing @license or @preserve and puts the comments somewhere (either in the generated code or in a separate file). This behavior used to be on by default but was disabled by default in version 0.16.0 because automatically inserting comments is potentially confusing and misleading. These comments can appear to be assigning the copyright of your code to another entity. And this behavior can be especially problematic if it happens automatically by default since you may not even be aware of it happening. For example, if you bundle the TypeScript compiler the preserving legal comments means your source code would contain this comment, which appears to be assigning the copyright of all of your code to Microsoft:

However, people have asked for this feature to be re-enabled by default. To resolve the confusion about what these comments are applying to, esbuild's default behavior will now be to attempt to describe which package the comments are coming from. So while this feature has been re-enabled by default, the output will now look something like this instead:

Note that you can still customize this behavior with the --legal-comments= flag. For example, you can use --legal-comments=none to turn this off, or you can use --legal-comments=linked to put these comments in a separate .LEGAL.txt file instead.
Enable external legal comments with the transform API (#2390)
Previously esbuild's transform API only supported none, inline, or eof legal comments. With this release, external legal comments are now also supported with the transform API. This only applies to the JS and Go APIs, not to the CLI, and looks like this:
