6.0.0 (2026-11-10)

drop SortableJS (use native drag & drop) and we're now zero dependency
completely rewrote Freezing as Pinning
- almost 2 months of work with 2 different AIs (ChatGPT Sol/Astra, Claude Opus/Fable)
- you can now Pin on all 4 sides and UI now shows a single horizontal/vertical scroller
new Sticky rows/columns feature
better perf all around
... and a lot more, check out the v6 Migration Guide below

We also have a new docs website, read the v6 Migration Guide or if you use AI then point it to the AI Migration Skill
