Today we’ve released version 6.1.0 of Handsontable (CE/Pro). Notable changes in this release are the inclusion of the fixedRowsBottom functionality in Handsontable CE, the introduction of a cool new functionality to the CopyPaste plugin (which prompted some bug fixes related to the plugin itself) and, with the help of our GitHub community, the addition of two new language packs: Dutch (special thanks to @slidertom, @webjazznl, @Gediminas, @RikTheunis, and @DjPasco) and Italian (special thanks to @imcatta, @giovannipessiva, and @DenialOfLupsy).

Changes

• Moved the fixedRowsBottom functionality to Handsontable CE. (#5404, #146)
• Introduced a new functionality to the CopyPaste plugin. From version 6.1.0, it supports the text/html data type alongside text/plain. This change, apart from allowing the user to copy data from Handsontable as an HTML table, allowed us to fix multiple bugs related to the plugin:
