release notes

SurveyJS v1.12.1

Released: September 10, 2024

SurveyJS v1.12.1 introduces a breaking change: predefined theme configurations are excluded from the survey-creator-core bundle, significantly reducing its size. Several minor enhancements and bug fixes are included as well.

[Breaking Change] Predefined theme configurations are no longer part of the survey-creator-core bundle

SurveyJS ships with a number of predefined themes that users can apply and customize using Theme Editor in Survey Creator. Each theme is represented by a JSON object with CSS variables. These objects are part of the survey-core package, but previously, they were also included in the survey-creator-core package. Given that survey-core is a dependency for survey-creator-core, the predefined theme configurations were included in SurveyJS packages twice.

SurveyJS v1.12.1 excludes the theme configurations from the survey-creator-core package, reducing its size by 15%. This breaking change requires a code update only in classic script projects that use Theme Editor. Reference the script listed below in the <head> tag of the page that renders Survey Creator. Modular applications do not need a code update.
