Vizual - v0.2.0 [MAJOR]

[0.2.0] - 2026-03-30

New Features

• Added Animate Mode controls in Settings:
  • Depth input to control expansion depth.
  • Pop Speed slider to control animation speed only.
• Added staged expansion animation for project exploration:
  • Children pop from parent position in sequence.
  • Supports folders and code files (symbol children such as methods, functions, attributes).
• Added ESC cancel during animation:
  • Shows bottom-left Cancelling... status.
  • Restores pre-animation expanded state and camera view.

Improvements

• Reworked graph updates to avoid full reset on expansion (reduced jitter significantly).
• Improved non-animated node expansion to preserve current positions.
• Updated settings panel visuals with cleaner modern styling and fixed layout issues.
• Fixed settings close button sizing and filter textarea overflow behavior.

Vizual - v0.1.3

[0.1.3] - 2025-12-15

Overview

Add a toggle to control active debug highlighting so paused call stack and symbol colors can be turned off when you want a cleaner view. Additionally, added QOL aesthetic fixes.

New Features

• Added Active Debug Highlight toggle in the webview settings (General) to enable/disable paused call stack and symbol highlighting. Additionally shows the latest order of the call stack.
• Debug highlight colors now respect the toggle state when rendering the graph.
• When hovered, nodes now highlight themselves and child nodes.
• Add line thickness adjustment slider

Maintenance

• Bumped extension version to 0.1.3 and refreshed release assets.

Improvements

• Active file tracking event trigger improved
• Debugging mode now forces a refresh on the graph to prevent graph not tracking changes in debug mode.

Known Issues

• Debugging mode may cause jitters in the graph due to constant updates.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.107.0+
• Node.js 22.x+

Vizual - v0.1.1

[0.1.1] - 2025-12-14

Overview

First public release of Vizual, an interactive project graph visualizer for VS Code.

New Features

• Interactive graph: expand folders → files → symbols (classes, functions, methods, variables)
• Smart navigation: click to expand; Ctrl+Click to open files or jump to symbols
• Physics controls: adjustable center force, link force, and link length
• Color rules: customize colors by node kind and file extension
• Filtering: include/exclude glob patterns, max depth, node limits
• Active Mode: dims non-active nodes; highlights active file (green) and breakpoints (red)
• Root pinning: keeps the root node anchored to prevent graph drift

Performance

• Stabilization for faster layout
• Tuned physics (damping 0.65, minVelocity 0.05) for smoother ease-out
• Reduced central gravity intensity to avoid over-clustering

Improvements

• Toggle expand/collapse on node click
• Distinct shapes for folders, files, classes, functions, methods, variables, interfaces, enums
• Live breakpoint and active file tracking

Requirements

• VS Code 1.107.0+
• Node.js 22.x+

Known Issues

• Large projects may hit the node cap; increase limit in Filters
• Symbol coverage depends on installed language extensions
