toonstrip changelog

toonstrip 0.8.9

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/core` 0.1.7, `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.8, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.11, `@toonstrip/cli` 0.2.1 (all published) ### Fixed - Korean balloon text rendered in a brush script on Windows (Gungseo) and in arbitrary fallbacks elsewhere. The comic font stack now names Noto Sans KR, then the platform Korean sans faces, ahead of the generic; Latin text is unchanged. - The element now waits for `document.fonts` before first paint and repaints when a face finishes loading late, so a page-declared webfont reaches the canvas. ### Added - `toonstrip render --font ` registers a font file (for example Noto Sans KR) before drawing. `COMIC_FONT_FAMILY` and `TITLE_FONT` exported from `@toonstrip/core`. - The site declares Noto Sans KR (Korean subset, fetched only when drawn) and the kitchen sink has a Korean strip check.

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/cli` 0.2.0 (published) ### Added - The site is live at [toonstrip.danielkimdev.com](https://toonstrip.danielkimdev.com): intro, docs, playground, and this changelog. Every `@toonstrip/*` README links to it.

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - Per-route JavaScript budgets enforced in CI, an Open Graph image rendered from the hero strip, and the site's end-to-end tests running in CI.

toonstrip 0.8.5

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - Public changelog at `/changelog` with an Atom feed, generated from this file.

toonstrip 0.8.4

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - The playground: edit a strip as a form, as JSON, or by watching the result. Emotion wheel, camera presets, character and backdrop pickers, undo/redo, presets, share by URL, PNG export, and copy-out Astro and HTML snippets.

toonstrip 0.8.3

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - Documentation site: twelve pages from install to schema reference, every example shown as code beside the strip it renders, plus `/llms.txt` for agents.

toonstrip 0.8.2

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - The introduction page for toonstrip.danielkimdev.com: live hero strip with a width control, 30-second install, six use-case strips, the character roster.

toonstrip 0.8.1

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - Site component library and the `CodeAndStrip` block used throughout the docs.

toonstrip 0.8.0

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** no npm release (site only) ### Added - `site/`: the source of toonstrip.danielkimdev.com, an Astro site that dogfoods `@toonstrip/astro`. Deployed by Cloudflare Pages from this repository. ### Fixed - CI now builds the workspace before running tests. Every run since 0.4.0 had failed on a clean runner because the packages resolve each other through built `dist/` entry points.

toonstrip 0.7.11

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/core` 0.1.6, `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.7, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.10 ### Fixed - Balloon text, padding, margins, and tail geometry now scale with the panel's actual size instead of being fixed pixel values computed for a 400 px panel. Narrow embeds (blog columns, phones) no longer read as cramped, and two-speaker panels fit their balloons side by side from 400 px down to 260 px.

toonstrip 0.7.10

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** shipped with 0.7.11 ### Fixed - Two-speaker panels far too often fell back to vertically stacked balloons. The layout now reserves a horizontal corridor per speaker before sizing any balloon, so the first balloon can no longer take the room the second one needs.

toonstrip 0.7.9

2026-09-02T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** shipped with 0.7.11 ### Fixed - A stacked speech balloon could sit over the *other* character's head. Fallback layout now keeps a balloon within its own speaker's side of the panel.

toonstrip 0.7.8

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/core` 0.1.5, `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.6, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.9 ### Fixed - Stacked balloons in multi-balloon panels were capped at two-thirds of the panel width for no layout reason; they now use the full width, so text wraps to fewer lines at real embed sizes.

toonstrip 0.7.7

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/core` 0.1.4, `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.5, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.8 ### Fixed - Panel seeding used a plain space to join speaker and text, which could make two different panels lay out identically. Restored the collision-proof delimiter.

toonstrip 0.7.6

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/core` 0.1.3, `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.4, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.7 ### Fixed - A speaker's first balloon was often needlessly narrow, wrapping to extra lines and pushing its neighbour's balloon into a head. Balloons now prefer the available width.

toonstrip 0.7.5

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/element` 0.1.3, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.6 ### Fixed - `@toonstrip/element` and `@toonstrip/astro` were still pinned to the schema version from before 0.7.4's fix. Installing `@toonstrip/astro` alone now gets the CSP-safe validator.

toonstrip 0.7.4

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/schema` 0.1.3, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.5 ### Fixed - Strips were blank on sites with a strict Content Security Policy because the validator compiled the JSON Schema at runtime with `new Function`. The validator is now precompiled at build time; no `unsafe-eval` needed. ### Changed - `@toonstrip/astro` no longer injects `ajv` into Vite's `optimizeDeps`.

toonstrip 0.7.3

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** `@toonstrip/schema` 0.1.2, `@toonstrip/astro` 0.1.4 ### Fixed - Published the 0.7.2 fixes.

toonstrip 0.7.2

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** shipped in 0.7.3 ### Fixed - `` never hydrated: the server-rendered placeholder had zero height, so the browser never reported it as visible. The placeholder now reserves space. - The bundled validator failed to import `ajv` under Vite.

toonstrip 0.7.1

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** all seven `@toonstrip/*` packages at 0.1.0 ### Added - First npm release: `@toonstrip/schema`, `@toonstrip/core`, `@toonstrip/element`, `@toonstrip/astro`, `@toonstrip/pack-comic-chat`, `@toonstrip/pack-example`, `@toonstrip/cli`.

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** unreleased ### Added - Documentation: the document format, the asset pack contract with a worked walkthrough for adding a character, and embedding in Astro. Root README and contributing guide. - `@toonstrip/pack-example`: a second, wholly original one-character pack proving the pack contract is not tied to the default art.

toonstrip 0.6.0

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** unreleased ### Added - `@toonstrip/astro`: the `toonstrip()` integration (copies packs into `public/`) and the `` component, with `client:visible` deferring all JavaScript and fetches until the strip scrolls into view. - `examples/astro-blog`: a minimal Astro site embedding a strip in a post.

toonstrip 0.5.0

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

Framework-agnostic; runs in the browser and in Node.

toonstrip 0.2.0

2026-09-01T00:00:00Z

**Packages:** unreleased ### Added - `@toonstrip/schema`: the `ComicStripDocument` v1 types, JSON Schema, and validator. - pnpm workspace, MIT licence, CI.
