## [4.0.0-beta.7]

feat(controls): Added controls mouseUpHandler and mouseDownHandler [#6158](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/6158)
Removal of deprecated methods / patterns. [#6111](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/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))`;

## [4.0.0-beta.6]

fix(fabric.IText): exitEditing won't error on missing hiddenTextarea. [#6138](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/6138)

## [4.0.0-beta.5]

fix(fabric.Object): getObjectScaling takes in account rotation of objects inside groups. [#6118](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/6118)

## [4.0.0-beta.4]

fix(fabric.Group): will draw shadow will call parent method. [#6116](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/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](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/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: 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’
