## @radix-ui/react-select 2

### Breaking changes

- The Select hidden input now submits an empty string when no value is selected. (2.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#230)

### New APIs and options

- Select now supports presence-based exit animations. (2.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#230)
- Added an unstable part that exposes the previously internal native select so consumers can recompose it explicitly. (2.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#230)
- Added an unstable part that sets up Select context and state without implicitly rendering the hidden native select, enabling consumers to recompose it explicitly. (2.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#230)

### Performance

- Improved tree-shaking lets bundlers drop unused components, improving dead-code elimination. (2.3.4) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#234)

### Tooling

- The package was republished through CI so it includes a provenance attestation. (2.3.5) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#235)

### Fixes and other changes

- Fixed a type regression so callback props previously declared as methods accept handlers whose parameter is narrower than the prop's. (2.4.1) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#241)

- User-driven changes are no longer treated as programmatic in affected cases, allowing bubbled event handlers to be called. (2.4.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/blob/925c88b773bb32aecf1b52a296a1a21ba7a720b9/packages/react/select/CHANGELOG.md#240)
- Programmatically updating a Select value inside a form no longer dispatches a click event from the hidden bubble select that propagates to ancestor onClick handlers.
