Squiggle 0.8.4

Private Models and UI improvements

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
