About SurveyJS
SurveyJS ships a silent stable line while v3 rebuilds its rendering on theme adapters.
SurveyJS publishes two streams into the same feed. The v1.12.x stable line releases roughly weekly with notes that say nothing beyond the version number and a CI skip marker, so the changelog carries no information about what shipped. The v3.0.0 beta line is where the visible work is, and it is a rendering and theming rewrite: theme adapters, a shadcn adapter, tokens for dropdown menus, a refactored boolean switch with a toggle-switch variant, and repeated theme refreshes, alongside SSR hydration and responsiveness fixes.
