5.0.0 Alpha - What to expect from the bundle size and performance. + New editor.

[FlorianKoerner]

Today I would like to share a few numbers about the upcoming version 5.0 with you.

The main package will be dependency free. This will affect the bundle size - it will be 75% smaller than the current version! Of course, the bundle size of the avatar styles depends heavily on their complexity. But also the avatar styles have been optimized and will be up to 44% smaller!

But I didn't only look at the bundle size. Depending on the avatar style, the upcoming version will also be up to 12 times faster!

Finally, I would like to invite you to test the first alpha version of the upcoming DiceBear editor. The editor already uses the alpha version of DiceBear 5.0 and helps to create avatars piece by piece.

I can't wait to share more updates about the upcoming version 5.0 with you.
