Chromatic Capture Cloud release notes
Version 7
Welcome to Chromatic Capture Cloud version 7 released February 2025.
Status: Upgrade window open (opt in for upgrade)
Key highlights on this release:
- Handle clipped elements: Previously Chromatic calculated the snapshot size without accounting for
overflow: clippedelements, those are now clipped. Intl.ListFormatnow works in Safari thanks to the version upgrade.- Improved video support: Some video services, like BrightCove and Wistia, use ephemeral source URLs that cause encoding errors in snapshots when
autoplayis enabled. Chromatic now handles these cases correctly by displaying a poster or a blank video if no poster exists. - Better Redirect Detection: Chromatic now alerts you when a story reloads the page, causing a snapshot error. Previously, these stories would throw an error without providing enough context to understand the cause. Now, you’ll know what caused the error so you can fix the story.
- New capture region: Previously, Chromatic based the story size on the
#storybook-rootelement. Now, it will base it on the<body>element. This means modals, dialogs, and other portal-based elements will be captured without needing to wrap stories in a fixed-height decorator. - New options for Modes: You can now configure each mode’s color scheme, touch events, and locale.
