Mermaid keeps iterating, and over the last couple of weeks we’ve got a nice little usability feature out, as well as a bug-fix. We are working on a couple of larger features under the hood, so keep your eyes peeled. We have Mermaid online training happening this month and next – they are ideal if[…]
We’re thrilled to be announcing a new release of Mermaid with a whole slew of new features and improvements. You’ll find all the details below, but as there are so many improvements, we thought that we’d produce a couple of videos to show off the biggest ones – enjoy! Remember that if you’re not already[…]
