πŸ› Bug Fix​

chameleon-react​

  • Dropcap: Added more breathing room around the drop cap on browsers that support initial-letter. !2792
  • TeaserTaxonomy: Fixed the wrapper rendering when premium is set but the premium badge is not placed in the taxonomy area for the current variant and breakpoint. !2784
  • Font preloads: Fixed fontFiles preloads always resolving to the production CDN, ignoring local asset overrides. assets.fontFiles is now always derived from the resolved assets.fonts setting, and fontFiles was removed from the public ThemeConfigAssets type (a new ResolvedThemeConfig type carries it). This is a breaking type change with no known runtime impact. !2785

🎨 Themes​

  • DS, NB, HBVL & GVA: updated the "plus" logos. !2791
  • HBVL: added logo-premium-main-inverse. !2791
  • Liquid Glass: updated header.logo.default.height for AZ, DL, DS, FRD, HMC, BEL, INDO, LT, LW and SW. !2783

🏠 Internal​

  • Updates to dependencies:
  • Replaced token-transformer with a Rust reimplementation, cutting transform time from roughly 2.5 minutes to about 2 seconds with full parity. !2769
  • Replaced Corepack with pnpm's standalone install in the Docker image. !2755
  • Fixed the release script publishing NPM packages with a version diverging from the git tag, Kotlin and Swift versions on hotfix releases, and added a --dry-run flag to tools/pre-release.sh. !2745
  • Updated the chameleon-kotlin demo app to use the new navigation API, fixing a crash after the navigation library bump. !2786

  • Added the "en franΓ§ais" logos and a new inverted sponsored content logo for chameleon-theme-ds. !2734

  • Moved chameleon-swift-components snapshot tests to Percy, matching Kotlin and Web. !2662
  • Removed the hardcoded GitLab auth token from the project .npmrc to stop a pnpm warning for anyone without that env variable sourced locally. !2655

  • Renamed CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md and added CLAUDE.md shims pointing to the new files. !2650

Version 8.0.0

πŸŽ‰πŸ¦Ž Eight versions in, still changing colors: welcome Chameleon 8.0.0!​

Version 8 is a release we've been building towards for a long time, and we're genuinely proud of what it brings. The headline feature is dynamic theming for chameleon-react, and it's a big one. Until now, every product had to maintain separate builds per brand. Dynamic theming eliminates that entirely: a single deployment can switch themes at runtime, without a rebuild or reload. Fewer builds, simpler pipelines, and a much more scalable foundation for every team consuming Chameleon.

This release also ships a full migration of our NPM packages to the GitLab Package Registry with a clean rename to the @chameleon scope, bringing everything under one roof.

As always with a major release, this means breaking changes. Please check out our migration guide before upgrading.
