18.1.2 carries one fix (2026-10-07): an entitlement licence key whose bracketed
block is broken across lines - by an email client, typically - read as invalid and
locked the grid.
That is this app's key path. The DC licence payload carries `hot_license_key`, and
licence.service puts it on `hotTable.licenseKey` for every grid - editor, viewer,
viewboxes, stage, multi-dataset, xlmap - so a key pasted with line breaks would
lock the editor rather than open it, on 18.1.1.
Both packages move together. The licence-checker exclusions pick up the new
version too: handsontable and @handsontable/angular-wrapper declare `SEE LICENSE
IN LICENSE.txt`, which the checker reports as a custom licence, so every pinned
version is listed in excludePackages - 18.1.1 was already there, 18.1.2 is added
beside it.
Checked: client 603/603, production build green, npm audit --omit=dev clean,
licence checker "All packages are licensed properly".
handsontable and @handsontable/angular-wrapper 18.0.0 -> 18.1.1, plus the
two repo-owned places that pin the version.
18.1 fixes two bugs this repo's specs had pinned as failure modes:
- "Sheet size limit exceeded" (upstream #10672): the formulas plugin used
to push the grid's maxRows into the HyperFormula engine as its sheet
size limit, so a licensing cap below an existing table's row count made
the engine reject the whole table. initSetup works around it with
Math.max(dataSource.length, editor_rows_allowed).
- Formula corruption on updateSettings while a sort is active: a bare {}
settings object was enough to turn formula cells into #REF!.
updateSettingsSortSafe clears and restores the sort around every call.
Both specs now assert the fixed behaviour instead, so a future regression
shows up. DC's own workarounds are untouched.
18.1.1 also fixes a filters plugin crash that lands on DC's usage exactly
(upstream #13480): editing a cell in a filtered column, or replacing the
data with a filter active, after updateSettings() with the filters option.
The Angular wrapper calls updateSettings on every update, and DC's viewer
and viewboxes run filters: true.
18.1.0 is mostly a performance release (viewport cell-meta release, index
translation, single-pass layout, bulk operations).
Also:
- licenseChecker.js: add the 18.1.1 handsontable packages to
excludePackages, or the build stops at the license-checker step (the
library's licence string is non-standard).
- _hot-icons.scss: regenerated by scripts/gen-hot-icons.mjs; drops the
Pikaday rules because 18.1 removed the leftover Pikaday theme styles.
- dc-validator.spec.ts: 18.1 tightened ColumnSettings['validator'] to its
real union (RemoveIndexSignature), so narrow it the way the production
code already does.
Bump handsontable and @handsontable/angular-wrapper 17.1 -> 18.0 and
adapt to its stricter TypeScript-core types: moved handsontable/common
and deep walkontable imports to their new public export paths, added
explicit generics/casts where getData()/getCellMeta()/getSelected() are
now typed unknown/nullable instead of the loose v17 shapes, and updated
the AutocompleteEditor override to the new open() signature.
Also allowlists @handsontable/angular-wrapper@18.0.0 and
handsontable@18.0.0 in licenseChecker.js — both versions report the
same non-SPDX "SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE.txt" field that license-checker
mis-resolves as a disallowed custom license, same as prior versions.
