+## [0.18.0] - July 21st, 2025
+- add `allow_annotations_outside_image` arg to the `ULabel` constructor, which defaults to `true`.
+  - when set to `false`, new annotations will be limited to points within the image, and attempts to move annotations outside the image will bounce back. 
+
 ## [0.17.0] - May 30th, 2025
 - Add `anno_scaling_mode` argument to the `ULabel` constructor, which allows users to specify how the size of annotations should be scaled when the zoom level is changed.
   - Options are `fixed`, `match-zoom`, and `inverse-zoom`.
