 * `GridStackOptions.subGrid` -> `GridStackOptions.subGridOpts` rename
 * We now have `GridStackWidget.subGridOpts` vs `GridStackNode.subGrid` (was `subGrid` with both types which is error prone)
 * `GridStackOptions.addRemoveCB` -> `GridStack.addRemoveCB` is now global instead of grid option
+* removed `GridStackOptions.dragInOptions` since `setupDragIn()`has it replaced since 4.0

 * feat: [#2275](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/2275) `setupDragIn()` now can take an array or elements (in addition to selector string) and optional parent root (for shadow DOM support)
 * fix: [#2234](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/2234) `Utils.getElements('1')` (called by removeWidget() and others) now checks for digit 'selector' (becomes an id).
 * fix: [#2213](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/2213) `destroy()` now removes event handlers too
