Learn more. @iFlameing @sneridagh this changelog entry says "Add new". How come this is a bugfix and has been released as a bugfix release? If we manage our releases that way, we will piss off our devs who upgrade and our clients who see new features without a heads-up.

Just saw that this requires a new version of VLT. The feature alone might be worth a major version bump. I honestly don't get how so many people can check and discuss this PR an no one sees this. cc @ericof Copy link Member tisto Jan 27, 2026 Choose a reason for hiding this comment The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others.

Learn more. @tisto you can read the discussion in the PR where I pointed this out and carefully tested to make sure the add-on still works (without the new widget) with older versions of VLT. It is not breaking. You're right that it should have been a minor release and marked as a feature though.
