We’ve been busy with UI polish and improvements to Squiggle and Squiggle Hub. I imagine the main update here for readers will be Squiggle Hub support for private models.

Enjoy!

Note: We skipped v0.8.1 to v0.8.3 due to deployment issues.

@quri/squiggle-lang

Breaking changes

This package is now ESM-only
Remove Function.declare method (it was never documented and was replaced with annotations in 0.8.0 release)

New features

Support for unicode sequences in strings; any JSON that doesn't include null values is now a valid value in Squiggle
Apply logarithmic KDE on skewed distributions

@quri/squiggle-components

New features

Playground viewer (and SquiggleViewer component) always shows both variables and the result
Comments and strings render as markdown
Line wrapping editor setting

Improvements

Error boundary in SquiggleViewer; fatal errors won't crash the entire playground anymore
In distribution charts, adjust PDF height on non-linear scales
Better log scale error message
Swap row/column order in table chart dimension
Increase number precision in distribution summary tables

Function chart improvements

Pick x scale points equidistantly on a mapped scale for non-linear scales
Group numeric function errors (we were already grouping dist function errors, but not numeric)
Don't draw cursor lines if cursor is outside of CartesianFrame
Floating dist function previews
Filter infinite values in dist functions
