AI Summary

This release enhances variable management, introduces gradient rendering options, and improves import flexibility. It also includes significant improvements to sequence diagram layouts and fixes various bugs related to CLI exports and file imports.

Key Highlights

  • Variable definitions can now reference other variables within the current scope.
  • Linear and radial gradients are now supported for fill, stroke, and font colors.
  • Files can now be imported using absolute file paths.
  • Sequence diagrams have improved collision handling for edge labels and lifelines.

New Features

  • Variable definitions can refer to other variables in the current scope
  • Imported boards can use underscores to reference boards beyond its own scope
  • Reserved keywords are formatted to be lowercase
  • Support for characters in the Latin-1 and geometric shapes unicode range
  • Can now import from absolute file paths
  • Linear and radial gradients are available for fill, stroke, and font-color

Full Release Notes

#### Features 🚀

- Vars: Variable definitions can refer to other variables in the current scope [#2052](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2052)
- Composition: Imported boards can use underscores to reference boards beyond its own scope (e.g. to a sibling board at the scope its imported to) [#2075](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2075)
- Autoformat: Reserved keywords are formatted to be lowercase [#2098](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2098)
- Misc: support for characters in the Latin-1 and geometric shapes unicode range [#2100](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2100)
- Imports: can now import from absolute file paths [#2113](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2113)
- Render: linear and radial gradients are now available for `fill`, `stroke` and `font-color` [#2120](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2120)

#### Improvements 🧹

- Sequence diagram: edge groups account for edge label heights [#2038](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2038)
- Sequence diagram: self-referential edges account for edge label heights [#2040](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2040)
- Sequence diagram: The spacing between self-referential edges and regular edges is uniform [#2043](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2043)
- Compiler: Error on multi-line labels in `sql_table` shapes [#2057](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2057)
- Sequence diagram: Image shape actors can use spans and notes [#2056](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/2056)
- Globs: Filters work with default values (e.g. `&opacity: 1` will capture everything without opacity explicitly set) [#2090](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2090)
- Render: connection label fills have a bit of padding and border-radius for better aesthetics [#2094](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2094)
- Sequence diagram: the padding between message labels and message endpoints are slightly increased [#2096](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2096)
- Render: code syntax highlighter dependency upgrade caused some slight subtle color changes in code snippets [#2119](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2119)


#### Bugfixes ⛑️

- Sequence diagram: multi-line edge labels no longer can collide with other elements [#2049](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2049)
- Sequence diagram: long self-referential edge labels no longer can collide neighboring actors (or its own) lifeline edges [#2050](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2050)
- Sequence diagram: fixes layout when sequence diagrams are in children boards (e.g. a layer) [#1692](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/1692)
- Globs: An edge case was fixed where globs used in edges were creating nodes when it shouldn't have [#2051](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2051)
- Render: Multi-line class labels/headers are rendered correctly [#2057](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2057)
- CLI: Watch mode uses correct backlinks (`_` usages) [#2058](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/2058)
