This release consists of updates to packaging and JS docs. We've really only published this page for completeness...there isn't very much to say.

This is a minor release which contains a fix for an issue with the surface component using a selection as its data source.
The ability to render some selection of your dataset, as opposed to the entire dataset, is a powerful concept that can be used to create some very advanced apps, such as our Collapsible Hierarchy demonstration:

and also the Neighbourhood Views demonstration:

The main change in 6.18.0 is that we've introduced a brand new home for JsPlumb's apidocs - https://apidocs.jsplumbtoolkit.com. This site is far easier to navigate than our previous apidocs pages, with a cleaner layout and a search bar, and we've taken steps to setup our URL scheme such that going forward it will be easy to access the apidocs for some specific version.

Angular's new(ish) Signals system is a great addition to their library, and one which we're keeping an eye on with a view to updating JsPlumb's Angular integration to help you make the best use of it.
Signals were introduced in Angular 16 and have been improved upon in Angular 17. We know that upgrading Angular versions is not something people take lightly, so for the time being we are focusing on what Angular 16 offers, and we'll be looking at ways of releasing support in JsPlumb.
Right now, though - if you're already using Angular 16 or 17 - we thought you might like to see how you can take advantage of signals with the current version of JsPlumb.
Release 6.17.0 contains a few nice updates to the miniview component:
We've made a major improvement to orthogonal connector path editing in version 6.16.0. In a nutshell, it's now far harder for a user to inadvertently get the UI into the situation that a connector doubles back onto itself underneath a vertex, which makes for a more intuitive experience. This is how the editor behaves in 6.16.0:

and this is how the editor behaves in versions prior to 6.16.0:

We think the behaviour in 6.16.0 is much nicer.
When a new node is dropped onto some existing node via the drop manager, the onVertexAdded callback on SurfaceDropManager now passes back information about the vertex on which the new node was dropped.
Support for the onVertexAdded callback was added to ShapeLibraryPalette
Added new panWithMetaKey option to Surface render params. With this flag you can instruct a Surface to only pan when the user is holding down the "meta" key (command key on Macs, ctrl key on Windows).
Recently a licensee who is still using version 2.x of JsPlumb wanted to upgrade their app to use Angular 16, but did not have the bandwidth to undertake an upgrade to the latest 6.x version of JsPlumb. So we pulled down 2.4.16 (the last version in the 2.x line), dusted it off to support Angular 16+, and released it as 2.50.0.
Version 2.50.0 is available to all licensees who currently have access to downloads (including new licensees). We don't recommend using 2.50.0 in preference to 6.x, but if you find yourself in a similar situation you might like to consider it.
