Version 1.5.0#

Date: 2024-09-13

This release, while technically a minor release hugely expands the scope of what is possible in Panel. In particular the introduction of the new panel.custom module makes it trivially easy to create new JS and React based components using modern tooling, a first-class developer experience and support for compilation and bundling. We are incredibly excited to see which new components you build using this approach. This release also includes native integration with FastAPI, such that you can now run Panel apps natively on an existing FastAPI server. We also introduce a number of new components, improved the developer experience, and squashed a huge number of bugs, particularly for the Tabulator component.

We really appreciate all the work that went into this release from 21 separate contributors. In particular we would like to welcome our new contributors @twobitunicorn, @justinwiley, @dwr-psandhu, @jordansamuels, @gandhis1, @jeffrey-hicks, @kdheepak, @sjdemartini, @alfredocarella and @pmeier. Next we want to recognize our returning contributors @cdeil, @Coderambling, @jrycw and @TBym, and finally the dedicated crew of core contributors which includes @Hoxbro, @MarcSkovMadsen, @ahuang11, @maximlt, @mattpap, @jbednar and @philippjfr.

Version 1.4.0#

Date: 2024-03-25

This minor release packs a punch both in terms of features, the number of enhancements and bug fixes and perhaps most importantly the addition of a set of tutorials that aim to get novices up-to-speed. The main new feature is a so called EditableTemplate which allows arranging dashboards using a drag-and-drop interface and also has strong integration with JupyterLab previews to go from a notebook to a deployed app without having to worry about writing layout code. Next, this release includes a number of need widgets (NestedSelect, DateRangePicker, ButtonIcon), layouts (Feed) and panes (Textual, WebP), and overhauls the autoreload feature with faster and more robust support for reloading entire modules. Lastly this release, along with Param 2.1.0, continues to build on the new reactive expression API making it easy to write reactive expressions and pipelines including support for streaming data with generators. We really appreciate all the work that went into this release and especially want to call out @MarcSkovMadsen’s effort in putting together the new tutorial materials. There’s more work to do but it’s a huge step forward and we’re excited to hear your feedback.

Version 1.0.0#

Date: 2023-05-17

The Panel 1.0 release is finally here and it brings a huge number of improvements. The largest improvements in this release come from an upgrade from Bokeh 2.x to Bokeh 3.x. Bokeh overhauled its internal layout engine and stylesheet handling, making applications significantly more performant and customizable going forward.

This release marks a huge step forward in the usability of Panel but is also just a first step in leveraging many of the new capabilities that the updated layout engine and design system affords. In the coming months we will continue to improve and polish the UI and UX and make it easier for you to extend Panel as needed.

For now we want to thank the many people that contributed to this release either by contributing directly or by testing and providing feedback. Many thanks to the core contributors @MarcSkovMadsen, @Hoxbro, @maximlt, @jbednar, @droumis and @philippjfr and the outside contributors @ahuang11, @cdeil, @MridulS, @AndrewMaged814, @midnighter and @wendrul.

Major Features#

The three main features we want to highlight as part of this release are:

Some of the changes related to the new layout engine and design system will require small updates to your existing applications. To make this transition as smooth as possible we have provided an upgrade/migration guide.

New Components#

This release also adds a number of exciting new components you can leverage in your applications:

  • Add Swipe layout (#3007)

  • Add Switch widget (#4130)

  • Add Vizzu pane (#4226, #4739)

  • Add BrowserInfo model to expose browser window and navigator APIs (#4533)

  • Add BasicAuth provider for quick password based auth (#4684)

  • Add FloatPanel layout (#4707, #4711)

  • Add a SlidesTemplate based on reveal.js to create interactive presentations (#4798)

Major enhancements#

There are also a number of major enghancements in this release that we are very excited about:

  • Improved Markdown rendering (#4688)

  • Add support for tooltips on widgets (#4130, #4621, #4643)

  • Ensure .ipynb and .md based apps can be used as --index (#4432)

  • Add support for selecting format and encoding for Matplotlib image output and implemented responsive Image sizing (#4514)

  • Add support for icons on Button (#4797)

  • Add generic Image pane that auto-detects the image filetype (#4551)

  • Add ability to reuse sessions to speed up rendering (#3679, #4658)

  • Improve notebook resource and extension loading (#4752)

  • Add ability to add global loading spinner to application(s) (#4659)

Documentation#

The last major change we want to highlight is a complete overhaul of the documentation, moving from long and difficult-to-navigate user guides to distinct easily applied how-to guides along with separate, longer explanation sections. We also put in significant effort to ensure that most of our documentation can be run interactively in Pyodide or JupyterLite.
