v1.1.0-alpha.1: native TypeScript release

Release

Native TypeScript Release

• the API surface is entirely backward-compatible, hence why this is releasing as SemVer minor

• first official release of the TypeScript rewrite

  • this has been on the main branch for a few years (c.f. #42), but had not been released until now
    • v1.0.6 and v1.0.7 were both backported from initial changes to the main branch
  • as it is natively in TS now, @types/react-signature-canvas is no longer necessary
    • please file an issue if there are any problems with the typings! this is released as an alpha just in case!
  • as it is natively in TS now, the build process needed quite a lot of updating
    • it's now built with Rollup (as this is a library, not an app) and various plugins (some of which I help maintain, like rollup-plugin-typescript2) instead of Webpack v1 from like a ~decade ago (did Rollup even exist back then?)
    • there is now a native ESM build and a UMD build for backward-compatibility
      • note: the UMD build may be removed at a later date during a SemVer major update/breaking change
    • please file an issue if there are any problems with the build / distribution! this is released as an alpha just in case!
