This is a big release.

BIG!

It's the first time Pattern Lab Node has supported asynchronous rendering. Why does this matter? Pattern Lab Node was written synchronously, with only Mustache in mind, many years ago. Async rendering allows the entire engine to work with PatternEngines / templating languages that require more processing, or only ever supported Promises. Think, React, Liquid, and even Twig powered by a real PHP engine. This is the culmination of a TON of work spearheaded by @geoffp. I cannot thank him enough for his support through the years.

Async rendering also finally put the last nail in the coffin ⚰️ for my original pattern parameter algorithm, exposing it as flawed and naive. I've fixed that in this release. Please report any bugs you encounter with pattern parameters.

KNOWN ISSUE 🙉 🙊 🙈 List Items Not Working Perfectly

Since I updated the pattern parameter algorithm, it became evident that the list item algorithm suffered from the same flaw. Rather than sit on this release longer, which is causing folks problems and then some, I am opting to release now for feedback and as a stagegate.

Follow #772 for progress.

Stay on 2.X if you cannot afford the disruption.

SUPPORT PATTERN LAB NODE ❤️

I've set up a Patreon account to directly support continued work on the Pattern Lab Node project.

I need help and support to make Pattern Lab Node a sustained success. I devote a lot of free time and would-be sleep to make the project what it is, but nothing compares to hearing back from users. It means the world to me when people find value in Pattern Lab Node. I am ridiculously humbled to hear and see what you all build with it.

If you find yourself here and balk and the idea of supporting open source software monetarily - I understand. Carry on, but please do share what you build - we all learn more together.
