mathlive - npm Package Versions

0.94.3 2023-05-22

Improvements

• The mathVirtualKeyboard.layouts property was a frozen array (an array that cannot be modified) but that wasn't clear. Now, a runtime error is produced if an attempt is made to modify the array. If using Typescript, a compile-time error is also generated.

Issues Resolved

• #1979 Vectors were displayed with an offset
• #1978 Pasting or inserting some content could result in a runtime error
• #1978 Text content was not properly serialized in a \text{} command
• #1682 Vectors (and other accents) are now spoken correctly
• #1981 Adjusting the selection by moving backwards could result in a runtime error.
• #1982 Improved resilience when a mathfield is in an embedded iframe which is not allowed to access the top window by cross-origin policy. In this situation the virtual keyboard is not available, but input via physical keyboard will work.

0.94.2 2023-05-22

Issues Resolved

• #1976 Toggling the virtual keyboard several times would eventually not display the virtual keyboard.
• Only apply smartFence in math mode (not in text or LaTeX mode).
• #1975 When inserting a square root, do not insert an index by default

0.94.1 2023-05-21

Improvements

• Use constructable stylesheets. This results in improved performance and a reduction of memory consuption by 2/3 in a page with 1,000 mathfields.
• Improved MathML serialization (#1870, #1803, #1933, #1648, #737, #150, variants: blackboard, fraktur, bold, etc...).

Issues Resolved

• #1963 Typing a "/" after a digit containing a french decimal (,) did not include the digits before the decimal.

0.94.0 2023-05-18

New Features

• Added support for \raise, \lower and \raisebox commands. Those commands were necessary to render some chemical bonds.
• Pressing (, [ or { with a selection will enclose the selection with this delimiter.

Improvements

• Improved parsing/serialization/rendering of content with a mix of text and math.
• Various rendering improvements, mostly of edge cases.
• Improved behavior of the Shift key in the math keyboard. Single-press the Shift key to set it temporarily, double-press it key to lock it (similar to CapsLock), triple-press it to unlock. This is similar behavior to the ones of mobile virtual keyboards.
• #1647 Improved rendering of chemical bonds, e.g. \ce{ O\bond{~-}H}
• Only on iOS, intercepts the cmd+XCV keyboard shortcut. On other platforms, use the standard cut/copy/paste commands, which do not require user permission.
• The tooltips displayed by the \mathtooltip{} and \texttip{} commands are now displayed when used with a static formula.
• Improvements to smart fence behavior, including better undoability.

Issues Resolved

• Selection display was incorrect when the equation included a colored background.
• Pasing text while in LaTeX mode now works.
• Some of the arrows for mhchem have been renamed and are now displaying correctly
• #1964 Prevent a runtime error when a mathfield is embedded in an iframe and MathLive is not loaded in the host document.
• #1970 The environment popover was not always positioned correctly.
• Correctly return unstyled LaTeX when requested (with format unstyled-latex). This strips any color/background-color/font sizing commands from the ouput.
• The caret is no longer displayed twice when placed after \cos^2 (operators with a superscript).

0.93.0 2023-05-08

New Features

• Support for \the command. For example, \the\year. Its argument can be a literal or a register, preceded by an optional factor literal.
• In addition to the label property, the key property can also now be used for keycap shortcuts. This allow overriding of the shortcut label. For example {key: "[undo]", label: "undo"}
• Added support for --keyboard-row-padding-left and --keyboard-row-padding-right as an option to account for shadows or other decoration that may spill outside the box of a keycap.
• Fixed opacity of Undo button in virtual keyboard, when the button is not applicable.
• The minFontScale property has been added that specifies the minimum font size that should be used for nested superscripts and fractions. The value should be between 0 and 1. The size is in releative em units relative to the font size of the math-field. The default value is 0, which allows the math-field to use its default sizing logic.
• If no mathfield is focused the virtual keyboard will dispatch a keydown/keyup event pair. Add an event listener to the keyboard to receive those events.

Improvements

• Improved performance of creation and destruction of mathfields by 50%.
• Fixed memory and listener leaks. After creating, inserting in the DOM, then removing over 100,000, the memory is back to its starting point and there are no listeners left (except for those associated with the Virtual Keyboard).
• Improved behavior of undo/redo. #1924 works in LaTeX mode. Undo shortcut substitution. Repeated operations (e.g. backspace) are considered a sinle operation for undo/redo purposes.
• Importing the Compute Engine and MathLive in the same projec should no longer trigger a conflict.

Issues Resolved

• #1646 mhchem: states of aggregation is now rendered correctly. Added support for the \mskip command
• When editing a mathfield, after inserting both a superscript and subscript, the subscript would be offset from the superscript.
• #1668 Correctly handle \space, ~
• #1939 When the parent of the Mathfield is scaled, apply the scaling to the selection rectangles
• Fixed parsing of emojis such as 🧑🏻‍🚀
• The focus outline is no longer displayed when in readonly mode
• #1940 New attempt to preserve the focus of mathfields when a window loses, then regains focus (when switching tabs, for example).
• At certain sizes, the \left...\right command did not display the visual indicator that the caret was inside the argument of the command.

0.92.1 2023-04-19

Improvements

• Replaced the (x) ASCIIMath inline shortcut with (*)
• Correctly parse empty sub/superscripts, i.e. x^{}
• Fixed serialization of macros (regression)

0.92.0 2023-04-18

Improvements

• In LaTeX, \not{\in}, \not{}\in and \not\in all render differently. Previously they were all rendered as \not\in. They now render as in LaTeX.
• Removed some unused keybindings, added Desmos Graphing Calculator inline shortcuts, added ASCIIMath inline shortcuts.
• #1920 Added a "sandboxed" mathVirtualKeyboardPolicy which causes the iframe in which the mathfield is to be treated as a top-level browsing context, i.e. to display a virtual keyboard instance in that iframe.
• Added mathVirtualKeycap.actionKeycap, mathVirtualKeycap.shiftKeycap, mathVirtualKeycap.tabKeycap, mathVirtualKeycap.backspaceKeycap to customize the appearance of action keys without having to define new layouts. This can be used to change the "Return" glyph to "Continue" for example, or to use the word "Shift" for the shift key instead of the default shift glyph.
• Added keyboard shortcuts (<kbd>alt/option</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> and <kbd>alt/option</kbd>+<kbd>Return</kbd>) for matrices/environments. Type ( + <kbd>alt/option</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> to create 2x1 matrix. If at the root, type <kbd>alt/option</kbd>+<kbd>Return</kbd> for a multi-line expression.
• Improved LaTeX serialization. Use braces around arguments consistent with LaTeX conventions. Exception is made for single digits for fractions, square roots, superscript and subscript.
• Improved handling of arguments with and without braces. x^\frac12 is now parsed correctly.
• The arraystretch register is now supported to customize the vertical spacing of matrixes and other multi row environments.

Issues Resolved

• When a keybinding conflicts with a composition, cancel the composition. For example, when typing <kbd>option</kbd>+<kbd>U</kbd>.
• After changing the math keyboard layouts, if there is no layer matching the previously active layer, pick the first available layer.
• When scrolling the mathfield into view after activating the math keyboard correctly account for the position of the keyboard.
• #1914 When the mathVirtualKeyboardPolicy is set to "manual", the keyboard is not hidden, even when losing focus.
• If the last row of a matrix is empty, it is ignored (LaTeX behavior)
• #1929 The \boldsymbol command was serialized incorrectly after its content was modified.
• Ambient style is now applied to macros, so \Huge\mathbb{R} and \Huge\R render identically.
• #1851: Correctly render \not. Fun fact: in LaTeX, \not= renders with a different spacing from \not{=}.
• Correctly render and serialize text (e.g. in \text{} commands) containing non-applicable commands, for example \text{\frac12}.
• When applying a style inside a \left...\right, the style of the closing delimiter should match the style of the last atom before the \right command. For example, with a\left(b\color{red} c\right)d, c and ) should be red.
• Correctly render \middle commands when preceded with a style-changing commands, for example: a\left(b\color{red}\middle| \frac34\right)d
• Work around a Chrome rendering issue with thin lines (fractions, surds)
• Correctly render the gap to the left of \underline, \overline
• #1656 Incorrect \left...\right command after deleting part of the formula.
• #1925 Navigation with the arrow keys could occasionally incorrectly handle atoms that should be treated as a unit, for example \dot{\vec{v}}. In general, various edge cases were not handled correctly.

0.91.2 2023-04-06

Issues Resolved

• Update editing toolbar when virtual keyboard is made visible
• #1919 Correctly position the popover panel above or below the mathfield based on the space available. Allow for more suggestions to be displayed, and include a scrollbar when necessary.

0.91.1 2023-04-05

Issues Resolved

• The context menu that appears on long press on ChromeOS has been disabled as it interfered with long press for variant keys
• When showing the virtual keyboard if the virtual keyboard obscures the mathfield, adjust the position of the mathfield to be visible
