About PhotoSwipe 5
PhotoSwipe 5 by Dmytro Semenov has much better support for mobile devices with iOS 13 and better performance due to its modular structure. It is also easier to extend its functionality using plugins or event handlers.
Due to changes in PhotoSwipe 5, custom modes for mouse wheel are no longer possible. The wheel is now always used for specific operations like zooming and scrolling in zoomed state.
Since PhotoSwipe 5 is now modular, it will now only be used in its original form and only be extended by plugins or additional frontend code.
Update about PhotoSwipe 5
The latest version of Lightbox with PhotoSwipe brings back the following features using its own frontend code for this:
- “Swipe” animation in desktop mode (starting with version 5.1.0).
- URL navigation (starting with version 5.4.0).
PhotoSwipe 4
Note: PhotoSwipe 4 is only supported for backwards compability since a few features like sharing options, are not supported any longer by PhotoSwipe 5. However there will be no bugfixes or new features at all in PhotoSwipe 4 itself. Therefore it is recommended to switch for PhotoSwipe 5. PhotoSwipe 4 may get removed at some point in 2025.
