[12.42.0] 2026-06-24

Changed

• animateView: Layers are automatically grouped to match their DOM-hierarchy. New .group(false) method opts-out.

Fixed

• animateView: Auto-crop is now aspect-ratio aware, disabling crops for matching aspect-ratios.
• animateView: Disabled automatic border-radius animation.

[12.41.0] 2026-06-23

Added

• animateView: Moves from Motion+ Early Access and alpha to main library.
• animateView: .add() resolves a CSS selector or Element to automatically generate, apply and remove view-transition-name.
• animateView: .new() and .old() configures values to animate on new and old layers.
• animateView: .layout() can set a custom transition on the size/position animation of the currently selected elements.
• animateView: Group layers now automatically crop with children set to cover, with border-radius animating from old radius to new. .crop(false) disables this behaviour.
• animateView: .class(name) tags currently selected elements with a view-transition-class as a custom CSS hook.

Fixed

• AnimatePresence: Prevent stuck exit animations when children interrupt.
• drag: Child e.stopPropagation() no longer break drag end.
• Fixing Next.js OOM on Windows when importing via motion package.
• animateLayout: Improve handling of parallel/interleaved calls.

Changed

• animateView: .enter() and .exit() now refer specifically to new and old layers where there are no matching old or new layers.
• animateView: Interrupted transition setups now return resolved animation rather than throwing.
