December 2024 — Siemens IX: Delivered Next.js/SSR capability for React components (with Stencil SSR support) plus new Next.js test scaffolds and cleanup of demo boilerplate. Implemented a UI/UX overhaul for the React test app with scoped CSS and updated imports. Replaced the Hyperlist dependency with a custom VirtualList to boost performance and reduce bundle size. Introduced an opt-out for automatic icon loading via ix:legacy-icons, along with tests and docs updates. Optimized CI by making the strict job conditional on core changes, reducing unnecessary builds. Conducted internal core/UI refactors to improve type safety and maintainability, and clarified release notes/docs for changes (figma-plugin, ix-number-input/ix-select).
