Photo Sphere Viewer 5 is available for preview!

[mistic100]

I am pleased to announce that the next major version of Photo Sphere Viewer is available for testing right now.

The main changes are:

• the NPM package has been splitted into multiple packages for the core and each adapter and plugin
• the library now uses modern ES6 syntax published in two formats : UMD & ESM
• the notoriously badly named longitude and latitude parameters has been renamed to yaw and pitch
• uEvent library has been dropped to use native events

You can test this version right now by installing @photo-sphere-viewer/core@alpha and follow the migration guide. Also check the API documentation (the header link points to v4).

Please comment here if you have any remarks or bug report specific to this version (no feature requests).

Great! as soon as it is final I will update the React wrapper

First "bug" : TypeScript is configured to target "esnext", which uses expetimental features like class properties, will change the target to "es2021"

• the notoriously badly named longitude and longitude parameters has been renamed to yaw and pitch

There's a typo in the explanation... longitude twice....

I tried the new v5
https://www.tadini.it/panorama/andolla/panorama_andolla.html ( html is for v5 .. while htm is still for v4 )

I get two errors:

psv.ts:27 PhotoSphereViewer: Unknown option defaultYaw

J @ psv.ts:27
Viewer.ts:120 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'adapter')
at new Ni (Viewer.ts:120:40)
at panorama_andolla.html:58:18

if I delete the defaultYaw line the pano loads but other error on compass and marker plugins appears

this is the page without defaultYaw

Hope it helps

You are not using the "alpha" version of the libs, for example https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@photo-sphere-viewer/core@alpha/index.min.js

So you are getting an earlier build that contains errors.

But I will release the final 5.0.0 tomorrow.
