Update Logs

If something in Roadmap is finished, or I fixed some bugs/implemented some new features/wrote some Wiki, I'll put them here.

2023-05-14

• Implemented ISelectLocalField (102a887).
• Extracted some common settings to the env (see Environment Variables for more details).
• Wrote Design Details of the plugin system.
• Supported requirements & notification (b295e03).
• Improved accessibility, now the --unified mode can let you deploy carefree-drawboard 🎨 to your own server with zero modifications.
• Improved user experience by hiding plugins when users:
  • clicked on the drawboard 🎨.
  • pressed the Esc key.

2023-05-07

• Supported PluginGroup (which is also a plugin), so we can manage plugins better (605eabd).
• Introduced nodeConstraintRules system (ecaf5fd).
• Supported socket-based constraints (i.e., send socket message to the backend to see if we should show the plugin or not) (8dd450b).

This serves as a universal fallback.

• Replaced some events with mobx store, which improves the performance/maintainability quite a lot.
• Implemented cfdraw build CLI, which can be used to build the frontend assets.
• Supported extra_responses.

So we can deliver some extra data to the frontend.

• Implemented send_exception.

So we can send exceptions to the frontend more easily.

• Optimized the positioning system (a6e8501 and some commits around it).
• Supported i18n stuffs at backend side (e3c8ce4).

So we can specify the label, tooltip, and (almost) any other messages in an internationalized way at backend side (e.g., Python).

• Implemented a (simple) ChatPlugin (cbe5911).
• Unified useOnMessage (f2dd7cf), so now implementing new plugins will be much easier and much less error-prone.
• Implemented the carefree-creator example.

And therefore launched the first public available, production ready, AI magics powered drawboard 🎨 (click here to try it out).

• Supported adding blank canvas.

Which is essential for techniques such as outpainting.

• Implemented ISelectLocalField (102a887).

2023-04-30

• Some nice CircularProgress are introduced at pending status & working status (6899641).
• Internal plugins (e.g., sync) can now bypass the RequestQueue and be executed immediately (5f60042).
• Introduced ElapsedTimes system (ceab3d4).
• Supported tooltip for plugins (ae5d114).
• Upgraded general styles (c544865, a6e6f38).
• Fixed known issue: interactions on the drawboard 🎨 will be interrupted if the mouse slipped pass any plugin (be1b433).
• Supported specifying more settings via backend (i.e., Python) (c4853b2).
• Some meta data will now be injected to the PNG images processed by the drawboard 🎨 (cec4195, 5cfb178).
• Introduced authentication system (now will only check for userId).
• Introduced loading page (2029161).
• Supported deleting projects (56edbe5).
• Introduced Auto Save.
• Supported guarding the loading page until target resources are loaded (See Loading Page for more details).
• Supported icon loading animation (1a16b2d).
• Supported specifying numRows (815409f).

So we can make some fields (typically, the ITextField) larger, which may provide better user experience.

• Supported IBooleanField & ISelectField (2cd8c95, 0c28ff3).

2023-04-23

• Hosting is now supported.
• Google Colab example is now provided.
• Tornado integration is now supported.
• Removed tornado stuffs and replaced them with FastAPI.

Rapid changes, huh?

• http stuffs are deprecated, socket stuffs are ready.
• RequestQueue is implemented (pretty nicely).

2023-04-16

• Implemented SyncSocketPlugin & useSyncPython (4c06392).
  • Now we can send Definitions & Settings from Python to React via WebSocket instead of file system.
  • This also ease the migration from Python to other programming languages, because all communications between frontend and backend are now based on a static set of APIs (see Extensibility for more details).
• Somehow wrote a brief guide on how to write plugins in other programming languages (the Extensibility section).
• Supported Hide All / Show All plugins (516b0f3).
