Migration guide​

Install last version of polotno package:

npm install @blueprintjs/core@5

For blueprint related migration you can read Blueprint migration guide.

Update styles import​

If you import from js

// old
import '@blueprintjs/icons/lib/css/blueprint-icons.css';
import '@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css';
import '@blueprintjs/popover2/lib/css/blueprint-popover2.css';

// new
import '@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css';

If you import style via CDN

<!-- old -->
