Breaking changes
- The Merge Cells plugin has been rewritten to ES6 and completely refactored. Before
0.37.0(1.17.0with Handsontable Pro) the plugin was accessible from themergeCellsproperty in the main instance. After the refactor, you can access it just like every other plugin, which is withhot.getPlugin('mergeCells'). (#4214, #4858, #4870)
Pre-0.37.0

This update introduces new API (more information in the documentation) and four new hooks:
- beforeMergeCells
- afterMergeCells
- beforeUnmergeCells
- afterUnmergeCells
- The merged cells are now cleared (filled with
nulls). The only value that remains, is the top-left corner cell's value, which is the visible one. (#2958)
