    v2.0.0

    This major release marks the maturity of Liveblocks. It contains new products (@liveblocks/react-lexical) and clarifications (e.g. @liveblocks/react-comments is now called @liveblocks/react-ui). t Also, we bring major DX improvements by allowing you to specify your types globally now. These types will be typed once and shared across all Liveblocks APIs, which includes your Node backend.

    // ❌ Beforeexport const {  suspense: {    RoomProvider,    useRoom,    // etc  },} = createRoomContext<Presence, Storage>(client);
    // ✅ Afterdeclare global {  interface Liveblocks {    Presence: Presence;    Storage: Storage;  }}

    In @liveblocks/react, you can now import hooks directly:

    // ❌ Before: get hooks exported from your Liveblocks configimport { RoomProvider, useRoom, ... } from "./liveblocks.config";
    // ✅ After: import hooks directlyimport { RoomProvider, useRoom, ... } from "@liveblocks/react";import { RoomProvider, useRoom, ... } from "@liveblocks/react/suspense";
    // ❌ Beforeconst client = createClient(/* options */);
    // ✅ After<LiveblocksProvider /* options */>  <App /></LiveblocksProvider>
