[4.0.0-beta.5]

fix(fabric.Object): getObjectScaling takes in account rotation of objects inside groups. #6118

[4.0.0-beta.4]

fix(fabric.Group): will draw shadow will call parent method. #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

[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’
