 ## 3.1.0-dev
 
 - fix [1419](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/1419) dragging into a fixed row grid works better (check if it will fit, else try to append, else won't insert)
+- fix [1330](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/1330) `maxW` does not work as intended with resizable handle `"w"`
 
 ## 3.1.0 (2020-12-4)
