UXP Changelog

UXP v8.1.0

New

• Support for UXP Plugins in Premiere Pro v25.1 (Beta)
• ResizeObserver APIs to observe an element's dimension or border-box, allowing better management of automatic adjustments and providing a performant way of observing size changes of elements.
• IntersectionObserver APIs to observe changes in the intersection of a target element with an ancestor element, unblocking cases for lazy loading of assets and facilitating infinite scrolling.
• Added support for :first-child and :not(:first-child) pseudo-classes to enhance the existing Web Component support by allowing targeting of the desired elements
• Support linear-gradient property with start and end values to align with the web.
