The release is here with the latest version 10.0.0.

(5) And as usual, fixing some edge cases, bugs, and general maintenance.

4) Added ability to hook into character render for text animations.

Another large update is the new Node.js render backend via skia-canvas.

From my tests, the rendering is closer to Chrome, especially in text. It's very useful to have as consistent results as possible on both client and server side renders.

Native filters work a lot faster.

Here I am applying a blur filter on a 5000x5000 px image.

2. New: Native CSS-style filters

Native filters work much faster if supported (I hate you, Safari).

1. Konva is fully migrated into ESM modules. Previously I had tons of issues with delivering both CommonJS and ES, so at some point I switched to CommonJS only.

But now there is much better support for ES modules in the JS ecosystem. So I think it is time to go the modern road.

~70% of Konva.js downloads are paired with react-konva.

Looks like native React integration plays a big role in its popularity.

Do you save them somehow and organize? Like tons of bookmarks? A collection in codesandbox?

Currently, it is not very fancy under-the-hood yet. Just a simple chatGPT with a little prompt. But I have plans to attach full konva docs into it, so it gives the best practices with the last versions.

While rebuilding new docs and writing more demos for vue.js framework, I got several use cases to improve it.
Just made a new useImage hook for it.

Drop me your feedback if you use vue-konva.

Konva docs already have tons of demos for vanilla js.

Updating these docs for react and vue versions is very time-consuming. And here I got a good use of AI and Cursor editor. So I can boostrap demos with AI and then manually review them to make sure they are good.
