Release Notes - v1.3.0

Release date: 2026-02-16

Summary

This release focuses on core reorder correctness, optional list drag enhancements, Kanban index stability, demo completeness, and quality hardening.

Highlights

New list capabilities (non-breaking)

• Added optional dragHandle?: string to DragDropList for handle-only drag start.
• Added optional selectedIds?: string[] and multiDragEnabled?: boolean for opt-in multi-item drag.
• Existing DragDropList behavior remains unchanged when these props are omitted.

Reorder correctness improvements

• Fixed boundary and last-item reorder instability in list flows.
• Added closest-edge metadata on list item drop targets.
• Added destination-index normalization utilities to make same-list and boundary drops deterministic.
• Applied equivalent normalization logic in Kanban card/column drop math.

Demo improvements

  • Todo List
  • Image Gallery
  • Multi Select
  • Grid Layout
• Added and routed missing examples:
  • custom-preview
  • drop-indicator
  • basic-kanban
  • rich-kanban
  • swimlanes-kanban
  • wip-limits-kanban

Tooling and quality

• Added ESLint configuration for the library package.
• Expanded regression coverage:
  • drag monitor reorder behavior
  • multi-drag block reorder behavior
  • drag-handle gating behavior
  • destination-index normalization behavior
