The Panel 1.0 release is finally here and it brings a huge number of improvements. The largest improvements in this release come from an upgrade from Bokeh 2.x to Bokeh 3.x. Bokeh overhauled its internal layout engine and stylesheet handling, making applications significantly more performant and customizable going forward.

This release marks a huge step forward in the usability of Panel but is also just a first step in leveraging many of the new capabilities that the updated layout engine and design system affords. In the coming months we will continue to improve and polish the UI and UX and make it easier for you to extend Panel as needed.

For now we want to thank the many people that contributed to this release either by contributing directly or by testing and providing feedback. Many thanks to the core contributors @MarcSkovMadsen, @Hoxbro, @maximlt, @jbednar, @droumis and @philippjfr and the outside contributors @ahuang11, @cdeil, @MridulS, @AndrewMaged814, @midnighter, @wendrul and @lukfal94.

Major Features

The three main features we want to highlight as part of this release are:
