Releases

Version 1.2.1

Date: 2023-07-25

This micro-release focuses on a small number of enhancements and rendering related bug fixes. Specifically it adds support for notifying users when the page is ready and when the Websocket disconnects using corresponding config options and upgrades the Vizzu version, thereby adding support for tooltips and enabling animations when the data is updated. The bug fixes are primarily focused on ensuring components such as GridStack and Tabulator render correctly and do not unnecessarily re-render or reload stylesheets. Many thanks and welcome to @owenlamont, @sciemon, @DGLaurits, @Ciemarr and @Kislovskiy for their first contributions to Panel and the maintainers @MarcSkovMadsen, @Hoxbro and @philippjfr for contributing to this release.

Version 1.0.0

Date: 2023-05-17

The Panel 1.0 release is finally here and it brings a huge number of improvements. The largest improvements in this release come from an upgrade from Bokeh 2.x to Bokeh 3.x. Bokeh overhauled its internal layout engine and stylesheet handling, making applications significantly more performant and customizable going forward.

This release marks a huge step forward in the usability of Panel but is also just a first step in leveraging many of the new capabilities that the updated layout engine and design system affords. In the coming months we will continue to improve and polish the UI and UX and make it easier for you to extend Panel as needed.

For now we want to thank the many people that contributed to this release either by contributing directly or by testing and providing feedback. Many thanks to the core contributors @MarcSkovMadsen, @Hoxbro, @maximlt, @jbednar, @droumis and @philippjfr and the outside contributors @ahuang11, @cdeil, @MridulS, @AndrewMaged814, @midnighter and @wendrul.

Major Features

The three main features we want to highlight as part of this release are:

Some of the changes related to the new layout engine and design system will require small updates to your existing applications. To make this transition as smooth as possible we have provided an upgrade/migration guide.

New Components

This release also adds a number of exciting new components you can leverage in your applications:

  • Add Swipe layout (#3007)
  • Add Switch widget ([#4130](holoviz#4130))
  • Add Vizzu pane (#4226, #4739)
  • Add BrowserInfo model to expose browser window and navigator APIs (#4533)
  • Add BasicAuth provider for quick password based auth (#4684)
  • Add FloatPanel layout (#4707, #4711)
  • Add a SlidesTemplate based on reveal.js to create interactive presentations (#4798)

Major enhancements

There are also a number of major enhancements in this release that we are very excited about:

  • Improved Markdown rendering (#4688)
  • Add support for tooltips on widgets ([#4130](holoviz#4130), #4621, #4643)
  • Ensure .ipynb and .md based apps can be used as --index (#4432)
  • Add support for selecting format and encoding for Matplotlib image output and implemented responsive Image sizing (#4514)
  • Add support for icons on Button (#4797)
  • Add generic Image pane that auto-detects the image filetype (#4551)

  • Add ability to reuse sessions to speed up rendering (#3679, #4658)
  • Improve notebook resource and extension loading (#4752)
  • Add ability to add global loading spinner to application(s) (#4659)

Documentation

The last major change we want to highlight is a complete overhaul of the documentation, moving from long and difficult-to-navigate user guides to distinct easily applied how-to guides along with separate, longer explanation sections. We also put in significant effort to ensure that most of our documentation can be run interactively in Pyodide or JupyterLite.
