Slint 1.8 Adds Flexbox Layout Engine and Spring Animations
The latest release of the Slint UI toolkit introduces a Flexbox layout engine, improved animation capabilities, and an experimental Vello renderer for embedded systems.
Slint 1.8 has arrived with a new Flexbox layout engine for arranging UI elements in embedded systems.
The release adds spring animations and runtime z-order modification for elements. You also get an experimental Vello renderer, which utilizes the Vello graphics engine to provide an alternative path for UI rendering in projects.
These changes give you more control over element hierarchy and visual motion without requiring complex custom implementations. You can check the updated documentation to see how these capabilities work in practice.
