v4.2.1

2024-03-01

Bug fix

• Fixed a bug with Vite hot reload #8

v4.2.0

New features

• Added a custom hash function optional parameter to the minidenticon() function. The included custom element does not use this parameter.

v4.1.0

New features

• Slightly decreased minified and compressed sizes

Breaking Changes

• New smaller and simpler custom hash algorithm working just as good as the previous FNV-1a based one. The shape and color for a given seed have changed. Not bumping version to 5 as the version 4 was only released the day before.

v4.0.0

New features

• 10 times less collisions
• SVG string generation is almost twice faster
• Slightly decreased minified and compressed sizes

Breaking Changes

• New algorithm to get a lot more different identicons. For the same username seed the shape and color will change compared to previous versions.

• More vivid default colors. The default saturation is now 95%, and the default lightness is now 45%. The number of different colors was also reduced from 12 to 9 for easier distinction.

• Identicon function

  • call minidenticon() instead of identicon()

• Custom element

  • import minidenticonSvg instead of minidenticonSvg
  • use tag minidenticon-svg instead of identicon-svg

v3.1.2

Reverted to v3.1.0 (custom element size optimization was canceling v3 performance gain)

v3.1.1

New features

• Slightly decreased custom element size

Documentation update

• Note about the identicon() function itself not being memoized

v3.1.0

New features

• 12 hue colors instead of 18 for easier distinction and better looking but at the cost of more collisions.
• Online custom element benchmark

Breaking Changes

• The color for a given username has changed. But the shape inside the identicon stays the same. Not bumping version to 4 as the version 3 was only released the day before.

Documentation update

• Custom element closing tag notice

v3.0.0

New features

• Custom element performance
  • Fixed attributeChangedCallback() being called 3 times after connectedCallback(): 4 times faster!
  • identicon memoization (previous identicons are not recalculated)

Breaking Changes

• NodeJS versions below 15.14.0 are not supported

Documentation update

• Basic and advanced usage sections
• React example with SVG identicon inside img tag src attribute and React useMemo for memoization. See the original issue comment by Dan Yishai.

Development

• Sticking to Terser version 5.16.2 for better minification results

v2.0.2

Bug Fixes

• New exports syntax to calm TypeScript down when using --moduleResolution bundler

v2.0.1

New features

• Built using the latest Terser version

Documentation update

• GDPR notice
• Workbox example fix
