5 Commits • 2 Features
Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (complexdatacollective/Fresco): Delivered two core features focusing on UI reliability and developer experience. The UI Props and Rendering Refactor strengthened type safety (ButtonProps/HeaderProps via type aliases), refined Button rendering and className joining, adjusted Header SVG rendering, and updated Page component link targets/text for UI consistency. Storybook tooling and release maintenance added CI-ready configuration, removed obsolete storybook-build, and bumped the project version to 2.1.10, enabling automated previews and smoother releases. No major bugs were required to be fixed this month; the changes reduce UI drift risk and accelerate development velocity. Overall impact: improved UI reliability, reduced maintenance overhead, and faster time-to-market for UI components.
