Motionwind v2.0.0

Motionwind v2 is the community release of the shared animate-* language. The public packages are synchronized at 2.0.0; internal example and documentation applications keep their own private versions because they are not published to npm.

Support tiers

What changed

• motionwind-core is the single parser, type, constants, registry, config, plugin, preset, and adapter-contract implementation.
• motionwind.config.ts adds typed duration, easing, spring, and preset tokens, strict diagnostics, reduced-motion policy, plugins, and an adapter target.
• animate-preset-{name} ships reusable interactions such as button-press, dialog-enter, list-stagger, and page-reveal.
• mw.create(Component) animates design-system components without changing the lowercase host-element compiler behavior.
• create-motionwind can initialize, diagnose, migrate, and install presets.
• The ESLint, Prettier, VS Code, MCP, playground, compiler, and adapters read one data-driven syntax registry.
• Packed-artifact tests install the same tarballs intended for npm into Next.js, React/Vite, Vue/Vite, Nuxt, vanilla, and Expo starter applications.

Motionwind remains focused on the common 80% of interface animation. Use Motion or the platform API directly for imperative timelines, custom gesture recognizers, and adapter capabilities marked as unsupported.

Upgrade from an earlier release

The existing animate-* syntax and unscoped package names are preserved.

# Preview changes without writing or installing anything
npx create-motionwind@2 init --dry-run

# Apply supported source migrations, then inspect the diff
npx create-motionwind@2 migrate src --write

# Verify dependencies and integration files
npx create-motionwind@2 doctor

Add motionwind-core@2 to direct dependencies when your project imports defineConfig, extension helpers, parser types, or the definition registry. The framework initializer does this automatically.

For React runtime components or React Native, pass the same config through MotionwindProvider. Build integrations receive the config in their plugin or wrapper call. See Configuration for exact examples.

Compatibility policy

ParsedResult is the Motion-first intermediate representation stabilized for v2. Breaking public behavior follows semantic versioning, canary releases, migration guidance, and at least two minor releases of deprecation before removal. See the live Compatibility Matrix for the exact adapter contract.
