  to create custom builds.

  in the current window.
- Added options `margin.item.horizontal` and  `margin.item.vertical`, which
  allows to specify different margins horizontally/vertically.

  `onRemove`, and `onMove`.
- Fixed items in groups sometimes being displayed but not positioned correctly.
- Fixed range where the `end` of the first is equal to the `start` of the second 
  sometimes being stacked instead of put besides each other when `item.margin=0`
  due to round-off errors.

### Network (formerly named Graph)

- Expanded smoothCurves options for improved support for large clusters.
- Added multiple types of smoothCurve drawing for greatly improved performance.
- Option for inherited edge colors from connected nodes.

        }
