  • UMD Module: Removed support for the Universal Module Definition (UMD) format to streamline the build process.
  • Rollup Configuration: Enhanced the Rollup configuration for better build optimisation.
  • Dependencies: All upstream dependencies are now pre-bundled to ensure full compatibility with ESM.

• Proxy Implementation

  • Reactivity: Attributes and Style properties have been made reactive to improve integration with downstream frameworks.
  • Layer Reactivity: Introduced reactivity for SVGLayer, CanvasLayer, WEBGLLayer, and PDFLayer to facilitate dynamic updates.
