Highlights

Core 5.3.0 brings a number of new features and improvements to O3. Most notably, these are:

Improved performance

@ibacher's next iteration of performance improvements involves reducing the number of dynamic imports shipped by frontend modules. This is achieved by importing components directly in frontend module's entry points instead of dynamically importing them via function calls. This change means that Webpack's chunking algorithm ends up creating fewer chunks, and the corollary is the application loads faster as there are fewer network requests to be made. Read more about this in the migration guide here.

Improved support for pluralization and interpolation in translations

Pluralization and interpolation now have improved support in O3. @vasharma05's work on upgrading the dependencies and amending the translation keys and strings has made this possible. Developers can now use the following syntax to interpolate variables and leverage pluralization in translations:

const totalResults = searchResults.length;

return (
  // ...
  
  {t('searchResultsCount', '{{ count }} search results'), { count: totalResults }}
  
  // ...
)

With the following translations:

{
  "searchResultsCount_one": "{{count}} search result",
  "searchResultsCount_other": "{{count}} search results",
}

i18next will interpolate the {{ count }} variable and use the correct pluralization key based on the value of count.

Support for non-Gregorian calendars

v5.3.0 adds support for registering default custom calendars on a per-locale basis. This means that developers can now register a custom calendar for a locale and use it in their application. Currently, we've only added explicit support for the Ethiopian calendar, which gets rendered when the locale is set to Amharic. See @ibacher's PR for more details.

New snackbar notification component

In keeping with the latest iteration of our Notifications design guidelines, @hadijahkyampeire has added a new snackbar notification component that'll be used to display the bulk of user task-generated notifications in O3. Work is currently ongoing to leverage the new component across the application.

Yarn 4 support

We're now using Yarn v4! That means we're also migrating monorepo management concerns from using lerna to using yarn workspaces. An important corollary of this change is that we'll now require a minimum of Node 18 to run 03.
