Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Consolidated build tooling and CI/configuration improvements across Sass build, variable resolution, CI scripts, and lint rules to streamline development and packaging. Docker Manager gained floating panes with padding adjustments and practical usage tests. Charts and Fluent theming were modernized by migrating to CSS variables for styling, improving theming consistency and maintainability. Styling robustness was enhanced through fixes to time-marker imports across Gantt/Scheduler and to SVG color rendering for checkboxes/radios, ensuring icons render with the current theme color. Packaging governance was tightened by excluding the Nouvelle theme from packaging and updating documentation to reflect theming and icon usage. Overall, these changes reduce build friction, improve UI theming consistency, and accelerate safe delivery of themed components to customers.
