# Change Log

## [0.4](https://github.com/formatc1702/WireViz/tree/v0.4) (20XX-XX-XX)

### Backward-incompatible changes
- New syntax for autogenerated components ([#184](https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/issues/184), [#186](https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/pull/186))
  - Components that are not referenced in any connection set will not be rendered. Instead, a warning will be output in the console. ([#328](https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/issues/328), [#332](https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/pull/332))
