- Drop 'stopHand', renamed to 'hand' since v0.43.0. 

Both updates above are considered breaking changes. Please carefully
test if they affect your code.

Selected new features:

- SelectWidget: Introduce `findFirstSelectedItem()` for performance
- SelectWidget now supports Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys

- DropdownWidget: Add screen reader support while collapsed

- Toolbar: Fix DOM order of tools and actions for keyboard tabbing.

You can find details on additional new features, code-level, styling
and interaction design amendments, and all improvements since v0.44.0

Thanks to all code contributors, and to James D. Forrester for major

release work.
