brick v0.65 Release Notes

  • 🆕 New features and API changes:

    • Viewports got support for built-in scroll bar rendering. This includes additions of types and functions to manage the feature behavior. These changes enable viewports to automatically get scroll bars drawn next to them (on any side) with customizable attributes and drawings.

      • withClickableVScrollBars - enable mouse click reporting on vertical scroll bar elements
