[4.0.0-beta.7]

feat(controls): Added controls mouseUpHandler and mouseDownHandler #6158 Removal of deprecated methods / patterns. #6111

removed Object.setShadow, and BaseBrush.setShadow. change rect.setShadow(options) to rect.set('shadow', new fabric.Shadow(options))
removed Object.transformMatrix.
removed object:selected event. use selection:created. In the callback you will still find target in the options, but also you will find selected with all the objects selected during that single event.
removed Gradient.forObject. No alternative available.
removed Object and canvas clipTo. Use Object.clipPath;
removed Canvas.loadFromDatalessJSON, it was just an alias for loadFromJSON
removed observe, stopObserving, trigger from observable. Keep using on, off, fire.
removed the Object.set ability to take a function as a value. Was rather strange to use.
removed Object.setGradient. Change rect.setGradient(options) with rect.set('fill', new fabric.Gradient(otherOptions)). The options format is slightly different, but keeping 2 formats does not really make sense.
removed Object.setPatternFill. Change rect.setPatternFill(options) to rect.set('fill', new fabric.Pattern(options));
removed Object.setColor. Change rect.setColor(color) to rect.set('fill', color)
removed fabric.util.customTransformMatrix. Use the replacement fabric.util.composeMatrix

[4.0.0-beta.6]

fix(fabric.IText): exitEditing won't error on missing hiddenTextarea. #6138

[4.0.0-beta.5]

fix(fabric.Object): getObjectScaling takes in account rotation of objects inside groups. #6118

[4.0.0-beta.4]

fix(fabric.Group): will draw shadow will call parent method. #6116

[4.0.0-beta.3]

fix(controls): control offset rendering code had extras beginPath that would clear all but not the last of them #6114

[4.0.0-beta.2]

fix(controls): Control.getVisibility will always receive the fabric.Object argument.

[4.0.0-beta.1]

breaking: All your old control code override will not work breaking: uniScaleTransform has been renamed in uniformScaling, meaning changed and the default value swapped. The behaviour is unchanged, but now the description and the name match. breaking: LockScalingFlip with the scaling flip behaviour are missing now, maybe reimplemented later. breaking: Object.lockUniScaling is removed. Alternatives to get the same identical functionality with less code are being evaluated. breaking: Canvas.onBeforeScaleRotate is removed, developers need to migrate to the event `before:transform’
