Hey there, Xircuits enthusiasts! 🎉

We’ve got some exciting news for you – Xircuits just got a major upgrade, and we can’t wait to share all the goodies packed into version 1.13.0. Buckle up, because this update is all about making your workflow smoother, more intuitive, and dare we say, more fun!

Let’s dive into the highlights, shall we?

🖼️ A Fresh Face for Your Workflow

We’ve given our workflow components a makeover with distinct CSS styling. But we didn’t stop there – we’ve added snazzy icons to various component types. Now, at a glance, you can spot functions, workflows, branches, and more. It’s like giving your Xircuits canvas a new pair of glasses!

🔍 Component Library: Now with X-Ray Vision

Searching for the perfect component just got easier. Hover over a component in the library, and voilà! You’ll see a preview of its documentation. We’ve even tweaked the search function to peek into those doc strings. But here’s the kicker – you can now toggle between the classic view and a new style that shows component nodes directly in the library. It’s like having a component fashion show right at your fingertips!

🧩 Attached Literals: The New Cool Kids on the Block

Ever wished your literal values could stick closer to their target nodes? Wish granted! You can now attach literals directly to their connected ports. It’s neater, cleaner, and oh-so-satisfying. And don’t worry – we’ve made sure copy-paste works smoothly with these attached literals. It’s like giving your components a buddy system!

🐛 Bug Squashing Bonanza

We’ve fixed a pesky issue where the Xircuits widget was a bit too eager, handling events it shouldn’t. Now it knows its place and behaves accordingly. We’ve also made sure that Argument Any plays nice with all ports, just as it should.

To wrap it up, this update is all about giving you more control, better visibility, and a smoother Xircuits experience. We’re constantly working to make Xircuits the best it can be, and your feedback is a huge part of that.

So, what are you waiting for? Update to Xircuits 1.13.0 and take these new features for a spin. And hey, if you’ve got thoughts or ideas, we’re all ears. After all, the best is yet to come!
