Month 2024-11 — AxisCommunications/fluent-components: Delivered UI reliability enhancements for the topbar and application drawer. Implemented a new onChangeAndClose callback for the Application Drawer (v1 and v2) to support conditional closing after an app change, and updated the API so onChange remains optional and is ignored when onChangeAndClose is provided. This enables downstream apps to control drawer lifecycle with minimal disruption to existing integrations. Also fixed unreliable drawer closing behavior in the Topbar to ensure consistent closing after user interactions, addressing issues highlighted in the 10.3.0 release notes. Together, these changes improve UX consistency, reduce edge-case bugs, and enhance API flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility.
