✨ Announcing maxGraph 0.5.0 🎉

[tbouffard]

This release contains new features, bug fixes and documentation improvements. This is an alpha version.

npm package: 0.5.0
See also the Changelog file.

Breaking Changes

• the UMD bundle is no more provided in the npm package. See chore!: only include ESM in the npm package #266 for more details.

Highlights

In addition to the functional changes listed later, this release includes several internal changes that will be useful in the future:

• Simplify the build and reduce the number of dependencies. This makes maxGraph easier to maintain and evolution will be easier to implement
• Storybook internal improvements started in v0.4.1 by using Storybook v7:
  • Storybook stories can now be written in TypScript. Since the introduction of Storybook, many problems remained in stories written in JavaScript, and they were difficult to spot. Stories written in TypeScript will make it easier to spot these problems, so users can expect a better demo.
  • On the development front, Storybook now works with Vite. This provides developers with a better experience (faster start-up and updating), making stories easier to create, modify and correct.
  • It is now possible to build a static version of Storybook. It will be possible to publish the demo on GitHub Pages, making it available to all users for evaluation.
• Prepare a website and the documentation
  • The website structure has been initialized. It will be built with Docusaurus.
  • This is a first step to later migrate the former mxGraph documentation and adapt it to maxGraph

Stay tune, lots of thing are ready to be implemented in 2024 ✨.
