[13.0.0] - 2023-06-22

Added

• Angular: Added support for Angular 16. #10396

Changed

• Breaking change (React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3): Changed Handsontable's policy toward older versions of supported frameworks. From now on, Handsontable supports only those versions of any supported frameworks that are officially supported by their respective teams. Dropping Handsontable's support for any older framework versions won't be treated as a breaking change. #10396
• Breaking change: Changed the order in which three hooks are executed: now, the beforeChange hook is fired before the afterSetDataAtCell and afterSetDataAtRowProp hooks. #10231
• Changed the margins of the context menu in the RTL layout direction. #10375

Removed

• Breaking change (Angular): Dropped support for Angular 13 and lower. From now on, Handsontable supports only those versions of Angular that are officially supported by the Angular team: currently, it's 14-16. However, Handsontable 13.0.0 was thoroughly tested and, to the best of our knowledge, works correctly with versions down to Angular 12. #10396
• Breaking change: Removed the deprecated beforeAutofillInsidePopulate hook. #10407
• Breaking change: Removed the deprecated getFirstNotHiddenIndex method. Instead, use the getNearestNotHiddenIndex() method. #10407
• Breaking change: Removed the deprecated parameters of the alter() method: insert_row and insert_col. Instead, use the following parameters: insert_row_above, insert_row_below, insert_col_start, and insert_col_end. #10407
• Breaking change: Removed the deprecated parameters of the populateFromArray() method: direction and deltas. #10407

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the "Read only" icon of the context menu displayed incorrectly in the RTL layout direction. #10375

[12.0.0] - 2022-04-28

Added

• Added ShortcutManager, a new API for customizing keyboard shortcuts. #8942
• Added support for right-to-left (RTL) languages, introducing a new configuration option: layoutDirection. #8760
• Added an Arabic translation. #9208
• Added a new configuration option: fixedColumnsStart. #8760
• Added a new keyboard shortcut (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd>) for filling the selected range of cells with the value of the active cell. #9366
• Added support for the <kbd>Home</kbd> and <kbd>End</kbd> keys inside cell editors, for moving the cursor to the beginning or end of the text. #9367
• Added support for the latest Node LTS version. #9149

Changed

• Breaking change: Changed how updateSettings() handles data updates, to improve performance and the consistency of user experience. Now, when provided with a new data object, updateSettings() updates the data without resetting any states. #7263
• Breaking change (React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3): Updating your data through a component property no longer resets your index mapper information and configuration options. #7263
• Breaking change: Changed how updatePlugin() reacts to updateSettings() calls, to improve performance and the consistency of user experience. Now, calls to updateSettings() update a plugin's state only when the options object contains a configuration option that's relevant to that particular plugin. #9021
• Breaking change: Changed the order of execution for two hooks: now, beforeKeyDown is properly fired before afterDocumentKeyDown. #6236
• Breaking change: Changed how default keyboard shortcuts are defined, to improve keyboard navigation consistency. Most of the shortcuts did not change and are now properly documented in the keyboard shortcuts guide. However, some shortcuts that were not defined explicitly, and were not listed in the documentation, don't work anymore (e.g., <kbd>Enter</kbd> opens a cell's editor, but <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd> doesn't). This change doesn't affect custom keyboard shortcuts. #8942
• Breaking change: Split a cross-platform modifier key (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>) into two separate keys, to improve keyboard navigation consistency. Now, the <kbd>Cmd</kbd> key triggers actions on macOS where the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key triggers actions on Windows. For example, on macOS, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> doesn't work anymore: <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> is used instead. #9369
• Breaking change: Changed the actions of the following keyboard shortcuts, to match the usual spreadsheet software behavior, and provide a more intuitive user experience: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>↑</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>↑</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>↓</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>↓</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>→</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd>, <kbd>Home</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Home</kbd>, <kbd>End</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>End</kbd>, <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Page Up</kbd>, and <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Page Down</kbd>. #9363 #9364 #9365
• Changed two scripts of the main Handsontable workspace (./), to speed up the build process: now, the npm run build and npm run test scripts don't build or test the Handsontable examples (./examples). #9412
• Changed the version of the Moment.js dependency from 2.24.0 to 2.29.3, in reaction to a recently-found Moment.js security vulnerability that did not directly affect Handsontable. #9381
• Changed the version of the HyperFormula optional dependency from ^1.2.0 to ^2.0.0. #9411
• Changed an internal property name, from hot.view.wt to hot.view._wt, where hot is the name of your Handsontable instance. The intention of this change is to make it clear that Walkontable (Handsontable's rendering engine) is not a part of Handsontable's public API. #8760

Removed

• Breaking change: Removed the <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> keyboard shortcut (used for cell merging), as it conflicted with window minimizing on macOS. The <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> keyboard shortcut works the same as before. #9368
• Breaking change: Removed the <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Page Up</kbd>/<kbd>Page Down</kbd> keyboard shortcuts from the cell editing context. #9401
• Dropped support for Internet Explorer 11 and Edge Legacy (the non-Chromium version of Edge). Handsontable 11.x becomes the long-term support (LTS) version for Internet Explorer 11 and Edge Legacy, until the end of 2023. #7026
• React: Removed the enzyme dependency from the React wrapper. #9151

Fixed

• React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3: Fixed an issue where using updateSettings() caused problems for state managers. #8372
• Fixed an issue where using updateSettings() caused hidden columns to reappear. #7165
• Fixed an issue where using updateSettings() caused merged cells to unmerge. #3315
• Fixed an issue where using updateSettings() caused the state of nested rows to reset. #8838
• Fixed an issue where using updateSettings() caused problems with column sorting. #7688
• React: Fixed an issue where using React's setState() within the afterFilter hook broke filtering. #7567
• Vue 2: Fixed an issue where repeatedly changing Handsontable's height through updateSettings() caused Handsontable to crash. #7546
• Vue 2: Fixed an issue where the failed validation status got erased when editing a new row. #7541
• Fixed an issue where cell filtering did not use formula results. #5455
• Fixed a wrong TypeScript definition in the BasePlugin class. #9175
• Fixed an issue where the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Z</kbd> keyboard shortcuts didn't behave properly inside cell editors. #9367
• Fixed an issue where the dropdown menu contained unwanted rectangle elements. #9240
• React, Vue 2, Vue 3: Fixed an issue with registering modules for the React, Vue 2, and Vue 3 wrappers, by adding an "exports" field to their package.json files. #9140
