What
Selectable list rows and similar components (including attachment and scroll-indicator rows) now support a hoverStyle option that can be set to tint, which gives a hovered row a background color highlight instead of the previous default, which only changed the mouse pointer style.
A hoverStyle prop was added to selectable option rows and related components, choosing between tint (background highlight) and pointer (cursor-only) hover behavior.
A Select-style list component now sets hoverStyle: "tint" alongside its existing hideIndexes and visibleOptionCount options, so its items get the tint highlight when hovered.
Why
Makes it easier to see which row is currently hovered in lists, improving visual feedback when navigating options with a mouse.
