Liveblocks Release Notes

@liveblocks/react

This release adds version history support for Storage: a version now snapshots both the room's Storage and Yjs documents (previously Yjs only).

Creating a version now also snapshots Storage, not just Yjs, see docs.

useHistoryVersions() lists the room's versions. Each has a vh_xxx id, see docs.

useHistoryVersionStorageData("vh_xxx") returns that version's Storage as a read-only LiveObject so you can visualize or diff it manually, see docs.

useRestoreToStorageVersion("vh_xxx") restores the room's Storage to that version, as a single undoable change, see docs.

useDeleteHistoryVersion() returns deleteHistoryVersion("vh_xxx") to permanently delete a version, see docs.

@liveblocks/node and Python SDK

Add methods for version history to list room versions, create a version snapshot, and delete a version.

All packages

Add support for public and private threads. Threads now have a visibility property that is "public" by default but can be set to "private" when created. Permissions can be used to decide which threads a user has access to, and threads can also be queried by their visibility to create filtered views.

Add scoped comments permissions such as comments:public:write and comments:private:none.

@liveblocks/client

Breaking: Remove type and kind fields from HistoryVersion type. The backend no longer returns these.

Add visibility to createThread.

Support querying by visibility in getThreads.

@liveblocks/react

Add visibility to useCreateThread.

Support querying by visibility in useThreads.

Add useHistoryVersionYjsData() hook to retrieve raw Yjs binary data for a given version. Deprecate useHistoryVersionData() in its favor.

@liveblocks/node

Add visibility to createThread.

Support querying by visibility in getThreads.

@liveblocks/react-ui

Add a visibility prop to Composer.

Prevent Composer from collapsing after focusing and blurring unless it was explicitly meant to support a collapsed state.
