Version 1.0.1

A micro-release fixing some small issues discovered in Panel 1.0. Thank you to @droumis, @hoxbro and @philippjfr for contributing fixes.

Bug fixes

• Ensure Reactive objects wrapped in reactive are re-rendered correctly (#4868)
• Tweaks for Material Design component inset label styling (#4877)
• Ensure SlidesTemplate slides changes trigger updates in the pn.state.location.hash (#4878)

Documentation

• Fixes for cross-referencing and links in documentation (#4870, #4872, #4874, #4875)

Version 1.0.0

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, @wendrul and @lukfal94.

Major Features

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

• Add new and highly performant layout engine, addressing many performance and layout issues (#4326, #4463, #4491, #4503, #4522, #4690)
• Add unified Design and Theme system (#4413, #4475, #4466, #4540, #4548, #4770, #4792, #4793, #4801)
• Implement support for passing parameters, widgets and bound functions by reference for simple and powerful reactivity (#4495, #4505, #4603, #4606)

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](#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)

Major enhancements

• 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.
