Fixes

• Double image dialog on image insertion #7152.

Breaking Changes

• The Ref support has been removed in v0.17.0 so if you are using refs, please update the integration to use the excalidrawAPI #7251.

• Additionally ready and readyPromise from the API have been discontinued. These APIs were found to be superfluous, and as part of the effort to streamline the APIs and maintain simplicity, they were removed in version v0.17.0 #7251.

• useDevice hook's return value was changed to differentiate between editor and viewport breakpoints. #7243

Build

• Support Preact #7255. The host needs to set process.env.IS_PREACT to true

  When using vite or any build tools, you will have to make sure the process is accessible as we are accessing process.env.IS_PREACT to decide whether to use the preact build.

  Since Vite removes env variables by default, you can update the Vite config to ensure it's available :point_down:

  define: {
    "process.env.IS_PREACT": process.env.IS_PREACT,
  },
