Version v0.1.76

This release introduces improved image generation features, including better visibility of prompts and models used, along with enhanced testing for the image generation plugin. Additionally, the continuous integration workflow has been made more robust by adding a PyPI version check to prevent duplicate publishing errors and switching to the httpx library for HTTP requests.

New Features

  • Added a HUMAN node to the /image command that displays the user's prompt and the model used for image generation, improving traceability and consistency with other features (c349fc) (Eric Ma)
  • Added comprehensive tests for the image generation plugin, covering plugin loading, command routing, lifecycle hooks, node creation, and edge connections (771151) (Eric Ma)
  • Added a PyPI version check step in the auto-release workflow to prevent publishing duplicate versions and avoid workflow failures due to partial previous runs (c788fe) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the PyPI version check script to use the httpx library instead of requests, resolving a ModuleNotFoundError in the auto-release workflow (bd674f) (Eric Ma)
  • Fixed the CI command to include the --with httpx option in the uvx command for the PyPI version check (334c7a) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.74

This release focuses on improving the reliability of event handling in collaborative graph sessions and clarifies the project's merge strategy for better development practices.

New Features

  • Added documentation specifying that pull requests should be merged using the default merge strategy (not --squash) to preserve commit history for debugging and attribution. (c4dacf, Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where graph event listeners were not re-attached when creating new sessions, which previously caused the "New Canvas" bug. Refactored event listener setup into a dedicated method and added both static and runtime regression tests to prevent this bug from recurring. (aeeec2, Eric Ma)

Version v0.1.70

This release introduces progressive TypeScript migration for the codebase, starting with converting tests and utility modules to TypeScript. The test runner now supports running both JavaScript and TypeScript test files seamlessly. Additionally, the event-driven tag system was improved to auto-apply tags to selected nodes and ensure proper re-rendering on tag changes. Documentation was updated to guide contributors on TypeScript usage and type checking requirements.

New Features

  • Converted tests to TypeScript with full type annotations and updated test runner to support .ts files using tsx, enabling incremental migration and better type safety (f69ae3) (Eric Ma)
  • Added TypeScript support for model-utils.ts with type-safe function signatures and updated test imports accordingly (e49a95) (Eric Ma)
  • Enhanced tag system to auto-apply new tags to selected nodes, preserve selection during tag operations, and trigger proper re-rendering on tag changes using an event-driven pattern (06f2c4) (Eric Ma)
  • Documented TypeScript type checking requirements for new .ts files in contributor guidelines (86d47a) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Reverted premature TypeScript conversion of model-utils.js to maintain test compatibility until test infrastructure supports .ts imports (0c3d5f) (Eric Ma)

Version v0.1.69

This release introduces comprehensive TypeScript type checking to the JavaScript codebase, improving code quality and developer experience. It includes tooling, documentation, and incremental migration guidance to facilitate a smooth transition towards stronger typing.

New Features

  • Added TypeScript as a development dependency and enabled strict type checking on JavaScript files using the checkJs option in tsconfig.json. This ensures better type safety without fully converting files to TypeScript. (26cfcb) (github-actions)
  • Introduced npm and pixi scripts (npm run typecheck, pixi run typecheck) to run the type checking process easily from the command line. (26cfcb) (github-actions)
  • Documented the type checking workflow, annotation patterns, and recommended migration order in AGENTS.md to guide contributors on incrementally migrating JavaScript files to TypeScript. (296fa9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added JSDoc type annotations to layout.js to improve type safety and IDE support while maintaining JavaScript syntax. (26cfcb) (github-actions)
  • Updated tests to use node objects with id fields, aligning with the new type definitions for consistency. (26cfcb) (github-actions)

Version v0.1.68

This release introduces a new feature flag to control GitHub Copilot integration in the chat, enhancing security and configurability. It also improves environment variable management by using secrets, adds documentation to prevent direct deployment to Modal, and fixes a test related to model loading.

New Features

  • Add a feature flag CANVAS_CHAT_ENABLE_GITHUB_COPILOT to enable or disable GitHub Copilot in the chat, including backend checks, frontend UI updates, and API support for feature flags (7e573f) (Eric Ma)
  • Use modal.Secret for managing the CANVAS_CHAT_ENABLE_GITHUB_COPILOT environment variable to improve security and manageability over .env() usage (d59e45) (Eric Ma)
  • Add a rule in documentation to never deploy directly to Modal, improving deployment safety (e83b9c) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix test setup by correctly setting copilotEnabled to ensure the loadModels test passes (40d1b7) (Eric Ma)

  • Added Clear All button to matrix evaluation UI to reset all cells, with guards to prevent double-generation bugs (cd861a) (Eric Ma)
  • Extracted /api/generate-code and /api/parse-two-lists endpoints into dedicated Python plugins for cleaner app.py and better modularity (3fcf74, 1158ba) (Eric Ma)
  • Added regression and unit tests for auto-zoom, canvas event handler registration, and SSE stream parsing to improve test coverage and prevent regressions (405f78, 36bdc6, e75678, 89fd63) (Eric Ma)
