Changelog

Changes are grouped by version. Version headings describe prepared contents; npm and GitHub releases record publication status.

Unreleased

Added

• A visual showcase with architecture, internal-view, and flowchart examples, downloadable SVGs, and commands to explore them locally.
• A self-contained diagram-authoring skill with its own CLI, viewer, editor, and dependency licenses. Install it with the shared skills installer without a separate global CLI installation.
• A pack:skill command that builds better-diagrams-skill.zip, with the ZIP attached alongside the npm tarball in future GitHub releases.

Fixed

• Release checks handle npm's OIDC requests before reading update metadata and use the same npm version as publication.

[0.1.0]

Added

• A better-diagrams CLI with check, build, and dev commands.
• --version, update --check, and explicit updates of the current npm global installation. Updates pin the checked version and prefix and enforce Node engine requirements.
• Architecture diagrams with fixed-size cards, summaries, local SVG logos, colors, typed connections, and nested boundaries.
• Flowcharts with action, decision, start, and end shapes, labeled outcomes, and authored main paths.
• Diagram-only viewing with an optional legend, pan and zoom controls, and modal details and internal views.
• Self-contained HTML and full active-view SVG export with embedded styles, logos, and fonts.
• Browser editing with file watching, conflict detection, draft downloads, and a recovery copy before each save.
• Version 2 source documents and continued support for reading, editing, and saving version 1 documents.
• A bundled agent skill, source-format reference, starter, and architecture and flowchart examples.
• Scoped npm packaging as @isqrd/better-diagrams, with versioned release notes and a GitHub release workflow.

Fixed

• The bundled flowchart uses concise terminal labels that fit wider fallback fonts.
• Dragging diagram text pans the canvas without selecting text or opening node details.
• Safe architecture shortcuts remove unnecessary connection bends while retaining blocked routes as fallbacks.
• Source updates arriving during a save preview are applied before write controls resume.
• Custom SVG text size checks include nested spans and transforms after uniform fitting.
• Source validation rejects array values where enum strings are required.
• Dev-server shutdown closes connections with incomplete HTTP headers.
• Updates enforce Node engine requirements even when npm's force setting is enabled.
• Release and update commands resolve standard Windows npm launchers without shell parsing.
