In the latest updates to SwiftUI, there are several new features and enhancements specifically for scrolling:

  1. Programmatic Control: You now have more programmatic control over your scroll views, including the ability to scroll to more positions like the top edge. This allows for more precise control over the scrolling behavior in your apps.

  2. Scroll Positions: There are additional scroll positions you can programmatically scroll to, enhancing the flexibility of your scroll views.

  3. Scroll Geometry Changes: The new onScrollGeometryChange modifier lets you react to changes in content offsets, content size, and more. This can be used to trigger actions when certain scroll positions are reached, such as showing a "back to top" button.

  4. Visibility Changes: You can now detect when a view's visibility changes due to scrolling. This can be used to create dynamic experiences, such as auto-playing videos when they come into view.

  5. Content Alignment and Bouncing: There are new options to control content alignment and to turn off bouncing along a given axis. You can also programmatically stop scrolling.

  6. Scroll Transitions: The scrollTransition modifier allows you to create custom scroll effects. For example, you can rotate and offset elements based on their position in the scroll view to create unique visual effects like a circular carousel.
