v1.2

v1.2.11

• Fix: Zoom popup +/- buttons now respond to Enter and Space keys when focused, improving keyboard accessibility.
• Fix: On iOS, the native video player now correctly displays the video poster as configured, matching the behavior of the Cloudinary Video Player.

v1.2.9

v1.2.8

Jan-27-2025

• Enhancement: Swipe/scroll touch gestures handling improved in iOS Safari on iPhones.

v1.2.5

Jan-16-2025

• Enhancement: Touch gestures were enhance to prevent vertical page-scroll when horizontally swiping the gallery.

v1.2.3

Jan-08-2025

• New feature: Added 5 new methods to allow programmatically setting the current asset in the display or for getting info about the currently displayed asset:
  • setItem(index)
  • nextItem()
  • prevItem()
  • getActiveItem()
  • getActiveIndex()

v1.2.2

Dec-03-2024

• New feature: Pinch to zoom to allow multi-zoom on mobile. Previously, multi-zoom was available only for desktop using +/- buttons. Now end users can also use multi-zoom on touch devices by pinching.
• Enhancement: Improved gesture handling logic. Swipe and other zoom and carousel-transitions are more performant and much smoother.
• Fix: Prevent double loading of assets. When configuring a gallery with a zoom popup and not preloading assets, the assets that are behind an open popup won't render. This is a huge improvement for galleries with zoom-popup and many hard-to-render assets, like videos and 3D models.

v1.1

v1.1.36

Nov-04-2024

• New feature: Endless looping carousel. Allows you to configure the previous/next buttons to always be available, so that when a user reaches the start/end of the carousel it jumps back to the first/last item. Enable looping by setting carouselLoop: 'jump' (example)
• New feature: Popup initial zoom. Allows users to request that the zoom popup opens already zoomed in. Enable initial zoom by configuring zoomPopupProps: { initialZoom: true } (example)
• Fix: Improved swipe handling for iOS devices.
• Maintenance: Updated many dependencies.

v1.1.28

Oct-27-2024

• New feature: To improve performance, you can now control an asset's fetchPriority property, which tells the browser the order to fetch assets, either earlier (high) or later (low). By default, fetchPriority is automatically set to high on the first image in a gallery.

• Enhancement: Improved render flow - optimized image loading:

  • If a thumbnail image is available, the Product Gallery also uses that image as the placeholder image, making only a single request for an image, instead of 2 requests.
  • The Product Gallery now loads the zoom image on-demand only when needed, postponing the request of the bigger zoom image.
  • Results of testing a minimal gallery with a single asset:
    • Before - requests 4 images at 159kb. Example
    • After - requests 2 images at 53kb. Example

v1.1.26

Oct-13-2024

• Enhancement: Major refactor to the carousel component, swipe/scroll logic, and state management, for improved performance and user experience, and prevents a noticeable delay in the active-index indicator interface (before/after).
• Fix: Addressed reported issues with inline zoom when using a mouse on touch-enabled laptops.
