New Features

In order to improve mobile performance at times of high traffic, the stream now employs virtualized rendering using react-virtuoso .

This required changing the way data is fetched. The stream is no longer paginated every 20 comments – instead, the first 20 top level comments are visible on initial load, and the remainder are rendered when the user clicks a "load all comments" button. This will be a minor change for most instances, but will be noticeable for longer streams (> 200 comments) and may change latency patterns.

This update is expected to be backwards compatible, but it is a significant change to the way the stream is rendered and the way data is fetched, so we recommend you thoroughly test this release before updating.
