Changelog

Documented against packages at 2.0.2. Packagist badges on the overview always show the latest published version.

2.0.2

UI and backend polish shared by Blade Comments and Livewire Comments:

• GitHub-style layout — comment threads, composer toolbar, and action chrome aligned across both UIs.
• Full emoji picker — composer insert and reaction picker; not limited to the six quick types.
• Reactions API — accepts any Unicode emoji / ZWJ sequence as type, max 32 characters. config('vgcomment.reaction_types') is only a quick-suggestion list for the UI.
• Nested replies — replies load by root_id, then Comment::nestReplies() builds a parent_id tree for deep indentation.
• Upload paths
  • Paperclip → file attached as chips (sent with the comment, shown under the post).
  • Insert image / paste / drag-drop → upload then insert Markdown ![alt](url) into the content.
• Markdown — bold/italic toolbar helpers; server-side soft normalization so markers like **bold ** still render as emphasis (code spans left alone).
• Blade inline reply — Reply opens a composer under that comment (primary UX); top banner remains a secondary signal.

2.0.x line
