 +=====PIXILAB Blocks 7.6=====
 +
 +Released on June 5, 2026, this version brings new features and several minor improvements and bug fixes.
 +
 +=== NEW FEATURES ===
 +  * **Panorama**: Now supports gyroscope and compass for a VR-like experience.
 +  * **Camera**: Option to use Blocks' internal camera also on Mobile Devices.

 +  * **Behavior**: New CSSVariable behavior, setting a CSS variable based on a property value.
 +  * **Tag Selector**: Options to let children inherit overridden tags and to merge fixed tags with overridden tags.
 +
 +=== MINOR IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES ===
 +  * **Linux**: Block thumbnail rendering could fail after about a week.
 +  * **Locator**: QR mode also recognizes and sets Spot Parameters, if any, from URL.
 +  * **Display Spot**: WoL repeated more extensively if unsuccessful.
 +  * **Panorama**: Fixes a wrapping bug when crossing the "date line" spinning backwards.
 +  * **Button**: Improved behavior when enclosed in scrollable block.
 +  * **Scroller**: Update any bound property also during momentum scroll.
 +  * **Behavior**: Press Behavior can be used with Locator, triggering its default action.
 +  * **Scripting**: Adds SimpleServer close() to shut down the ServerListener.
 +  * **Scripting**: Adds option to disconnect network connections forcefully.
 +  * **Scripting**: Properties on Feed Scripts now work also from Spots.
 +  * **Scripting**: Auto-install relevant script/system and script/system_lib files.
 +  * **Samsung Signage Displays**: Updated Tizen app certificate.
 +  * **Server**: Evict stale sessions after some time to avoid leaking memory.
 +  * **Slideshow**: Avoid pause symbol appearing on video with "Auto" playback controls.
 +  * **ArtNet**: More channels names added to automatic multiFunc in Task: Warm White, Cold White, UV, Intensity, Color Temperature.
 +  * **Task**: You can now Copy/Paste/Duplicate Groups.
 +  * **ArtNet**: Doing a fade to previous value immediately after setting a value could fail.
 +  * **ArtNet**: End synchronized playback when sync source (e.g., Timeline) stops.
 +  * **Android/Windows/Mac**: Avoid popup asking for "local network access".
 +  * **Mobile**: Disable global pinch-to-zoom.
 +  * **Timeline**: A do-cue causing a timeline jump could cause other do-tracks to misfire.
 +  * **Mobile**: Set reasonable default dimensions for new blocks targeting mobile phones.
 +  * **Live Video**: URL now allows for query parameters.

 +=====PIXILAB Blocks 7.5.1=====
 +
 +Released on February 13, 2026, this version fixes two regressions in 7.5. One of these could in some rare cases result in data corruption when editing a block. The other one caused playback failure on older Samsung SSSP (pre Tizen 7) smart signage displays. If you've installed 7.5, you should update to 7.5.1 immediately.
