Removal of deprecated methods / patterns. [#6111](https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js/pull/6111)
- removed Object.setShadow, and BaseBrush.setShadow. change `rect.setShadow(options)` to `rect.set('shadow', new fabric.Shadow(options))`
- removed Object.transformMatrix.
- removed `object:selected` event. use `selection:created`. In the callback you will still find  `target` in the options, but also you will find `selected` with all the objects selected during that single event.
- removed Gradient.forObject. No alternative available.
- removed Object and canvas `clipTo`. Use Object.clipPath;
- removed Canvas.loadFromDatalessJSON, it was just an alias for `loadFromJSON`
- removed `observe`, `stopObserving`, `trigger` from observable. Keep using `on`, `off`, `fire`.
- removed the Object.set ability to take a function as a value. Was rather strange to use.
- removed Object.setGradient. Change `rect.setGradient(options)` with `rect.set('fill', new fabric.Gradient(otherOptions))`. The options format is slightly different, but keeping 2 formats does not really make sense.
- removed Object.setPatternFill. Change `rect.setPatternFill(options)` to `rect.set('fill', new fabric.Pattern(options))`;
- removed Object.setColor. Change `rect.setColor(color)` to `rect.set('fill', color)`

- Fix style object deletion in iText
- Fix typo in `_initCanvasHandlers`
- Fix `transformMatrix` not affecting fabric.Text
- Fix `setAngle` for different originX/originY (!= 'center')
- Change default/init noise/brightness value for `fabric.Image.filters.Noise` and `fabric.Image.filters.Brightness` from 100 to 0
- Add `fabric.Canvas#imageSmoothingEnabled`
- Add `copy/paste` support for iText (uses clipboardData)

## [1.4.0]

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] JSON and Cufon are no longer included in default build

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Change default objects' originX/originY to left/top

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.StaticCanvas#backgroundImage` and `fabric.StaticCanvas#overlayImage` are `fabric.Image` instances. `fabric.StaticCanvas#backgroundImageOpacity`, `fabric.StaticCanvas#backgroundImageStretch`, `fabric.StaticCanvas#overlayImageLeft` and `fabric.StaticCanvas#overlayImageTop` were removed.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Text#backgroundColor` is now `fabric.Object#backgroundColor`

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Remove `fabric.Object#toGrayscale` and `fabric.Object#overlayFill` since they're too specific

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Remove `fabric.StaticCanvas.toGrayscale` since we already have that logic in `fabric.Image.filters.Grayscale`.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Split `centerTransform` into the properties `centeredScaling` and `centeredRotation`. Object rotation now happens around originX/originY point UNLESS `centeredRotation=true`. Object scaling now happens non-centered UNLESS `centeredScaling=true`.

## [1.3.0]

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Remove selectable, hasControls, hasBorders, hasRotatingPoint, transparentCorners, perPixelTargetFind from default object/json representation of objects.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Object rotation now happens around originX/originY point UNLESS `centerTransform=true`.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] fabric.Text#textShadow has been removed - new fabric.Text.shadow property (type of fabric.Shadow).

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] fabric.BaseBrush shadow properties are combined into one property => fabric.BaseBrush.shadow (shadowColor, shadowBlur, shadowOffsetX, shadowOffsetY no longer exist).

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Path.fromObject` is now async. `fabric.Canvas#loadFromDatalessJSON` is deprecated.

## [1.2.0]

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] Make `fabric.Object#toDataURL` synchronous.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Text#strokeStyle` -> `fabric.Text#stroke`, for consistency with other objects.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Object.setActive(…)` -> `fabric.Object.set('active', …)`.
                `fabric.Object.isActive` is gone (use `fabric.Object.active` instead)

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Group#objects` -> `fabric.Group._objects`.

## [1.1.0]

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Text#setFontsize` becomes `fabric.Object#setFontSize`.

- [BACK_INCOMPAT] `fabric.Canvas.toDataURL` now accepts options object instead linear arguments.
                `fabric.Canvas.toDataURLWithMultiplier` is deprecated;
                use `fabric.Canvas.toDataURL({ multiplier: … })` instead

## [1.0.0]
