Summary

  • New packages/docs/docs/overview/whats-new-v6.mdx slotted in under Overview at sidebar_position: 3 (after Installation).
  • Covers the highlights of the v5 → v6 jump: Tab Groups, Edge Groups, the new tab context menu, onShow / onHide lifecycle hooks, the new tab-group event surface on DockviewApi, the theme system overhaul (six new theme properties + nine new built-in themes).
  • Documents the four breaking changes with before/after snippets:
    • tabAnimation moved from DockviewOptions to the DockviewTheme object (and DEFAULT_TAB_ANIMATION removed)
    • dockview.css is no longer auto-injected from cjs/esm bundles
    • themeReplit removed
    • Spaced themes migrated to the CSS-variable system
  • Ends with a five-step "Migrating from v5" checklist.

Test plan

  • yarn workspace docs start and navigate to /docs/overview/whats-new-v6 to confirm the page renders correctly with the existing components and code blocks.
  • Confirm the page appears under Overview, between Installation and Core Features.
  • Verify the in-page anchors (#tab-groups, #edge-groups, #breaking-changes) and outbound links (/docs/core/panels/tabs#tab-groups, /docs/core/groups/edgeGroups, /demo, /docs/overview/installation) all resolve.
