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.

2023-04-30

• 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.

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).
