• Hot reload - Component files (templates, JS, CSS) are now updated without a server restart

  Before, with the reload_on_file_change=True setting, the entire Django server was restarted when you edited a component's HTML template, JS, or CSS file.

  Now, the files are updated in-memory, no server restart needed. The next request re-reads from disk automatically.

  Changes: - The reload_on_file_change setting now accepts values "off", "hot","restart", True, False. - The default has changed from False to "hot". - The old reload_on_file_change=True behavior is still available as reload_on_file_change="restart" - The restart mode is deprecated and will be removed in v1.

  Actions: - If no reload_on_file_change was set -> Hot reload now enabled by default. - If reload_on_file_change=True -> Now hot-reloads instead of restarts - If reload_on_file_change=False -> No change.

  New ReloadMode enum is exported from django_components for use in settings.
