JointJS releases a 'no-dependency' v4.0

JointJS, an open-source diagramming library based on SVG, has released version 4.0, which finally operates without any external dependencies. Eliminating jQuery, Lodash, and Backbone was (not that surprisingly) a wish of many developers. Now, they can create interactive diagramming applications with a leaner, more intuitive, and high-performing version of the JointJS library.

Here's what's new in v4.0: • No external dependencies (jQuery, Backbone, Lodash) • Extensive refactoring for improved performance • BPMN export to/import from XML, enhancing collaboration across the BPMN tool suite (available in JointJS+) • Plus, a lot more (read here: https://www.jointjs.com/blog/introducing-version-4)

That's great progress! It's nice to see JointJS becoming lighter and shedding its reliance on jQuery and Backbone.

Such a great release, finally dependency-free..
