NodeGUI v0.2.0 contains major architectural changes with respect v0.1

Includes a shiny new build system 🌟

NodeGUI although is a nodejs addon, it no longer uses node-gyp as its build system. This is to enable greater flexibility and stability.
More details on why we changed to cmake here: https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui/pull/103

Includes support for Native plugins for NodeGUI 🎉

From v0.2.0 anyone can now build third party native plugins for NodeGUI. This is heavily inspired from React Native’s architecture.
This will ensure that the core library remains lean and will allow more easy way for contributions. More on this will be added to the docs soon. But if you are really eager to know how it would look you can take a look at https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui-example-plugin

Other changes:

  • Adds QTabWidget
  • QCheckBoxEvents.toggled
  • QIcon.pixmap
  • qtnode addon is now renamed to nodegui_core
