Apr 1, 2026Monthly summary for 2026-04: Key features delivered include TurboSnap Incompatibility Handling for React Native and Storybook React Native in chromaui/chromatic-cli, with explicit error handling and targeted messaging, plus a refactor of announceBuild to lower complexity and updated tests for clearer failure reasons. These changes improve reliability and developer experience, reduce ambiguous failures, and better guide users when TurboSnap is used with React Native projects. The work aligns with product goals to support platform-specific constraints while maintaining DX and maintainability.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 performance highlights for chromaui/chromatic-cli: Delivered a major React Native manifest generation upgrade integrated into the build flow, added a dedicated generate-manifest CLI subcommand, and updated the UI to reflect manifest availability. Strengthened cross-environment reliability with broadened Node support (Node 20–24) and CI tests for Node 22/24, while removing Node 18 tests. Implemented a safe execa wrapper to kill process trees and standardized it across the codebase. Improved error handling and messaging around manifest generation, including timeouts, and updated tests to ensure stability after changes. Fixed SB9 and SB10 compatibility issues and hardened config path handling to reduce edge-case failures. Collectively these changes reduce manual intervention, accelerate RN build workflows, and improve stability in diverse environments.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for chromaui/chromatic-cli: Delivered two high-impact features with direct business value and improved mobile build reliability. The Publish Action now includes the root CHANGELOG in outputs, enabling stakeholders to view latest changes directly from CI/CD. React Native Build Validation and Deployment Improvements enhance reliability across Android and iOS artifacts, validate builds by target browser, filter bundle uploads per platform, and provide clearer error messages for missing build directories. These changes streamline CI/CD workflows, reduce triage time, and improve end-user visibility into changes and mobile build health.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 for chromaui/chromatic-cli focused on reliability, security, and streamlined release processes. Implemented a buffering mechanism for log writes during metadata uploads (withPausedLog) to prevent race conditions, expanded test coverage for uploadMetadataFiles, and migrated to a trusted publishing workflow in GitHub Actions, removing sensitive secrets and updating Node/NPM tooling. These changes reduce risk in metadata processing, speed up releases, and strengthen security in distribution.
