Week 34

v3.4.0

@liveblocks/react

Tool calls will now stream in while under construction. This means that tools will render sooner and more often re-render, while partialArgs are streaming in.

New behavior (v3.4 and higher):

• 1st render: { stage: "receiving", partialArgs: {} }
• 2nd render: { stage: "receiving", partialArgs: { cities: [] } }
• 3rd render: { stage: "receiving", partialArgs: { cities: [""] } }
• 4th render: { stage: "receiving", partialArgs: { cities: ["Pa"] } }
• 5th render: { stage: "receiving", partialArgs: { cities: ["Paris"] } }
• etc.
• Then { stage: "executing", args: { cities: "Paris" } } (same as before)
• And { stage: "executed", args, result } (same as before)

Before (v3.3 and lower):

• Stage "receiving" would never happen
• 1st render would be with { stage: "executing", args: { cities: ["Paris"] } }
• 2nd render would be with { stage: "executed", args, result }

Other changes

• In RoomProvider, initialPresence and initialStorage now get re-evaluated whenever the room ID (the id prop) changes.

@liveblocks/react-ui

• Add a minimal appearance to AiTool via a new variant prop.
• Improve Markdown rendering during streaming in AiChat: incomplete content is now handled gracefully so things like bold, links, or tables all render instantly without seeing partial Markdown syntax first.
• Render all messages in AiChat as Markdown, including ones from the user.
• Fix Markdown rendering of HTML tags in AiChat. (e.g. "Use the <AiChat /> component" would render as "Use the `` component")
• Improve shimmer animation visible on elements like the "Thinking…"/"Reasoning…" placeholders in AiChat.

Infrastructure

• Improved LiveList conflict resolution that will keep the conflicting element closer to its intended destination.
