        1.1.8<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • Fixed: Added !important overrides to counter WordPress has-nested-images gallery CSS that was fighting plugin layout rules, causing columns and images to appear off-center or wrong size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
          1.1.7<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Fixed: Navigation arrows are now always vertically centered relative to the image area only, not the full wrapper (which included the dots below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
            1.1.6<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Improved: Images now display at their natural size (never stretched), centered within their column slot. Nothing is ever cropped. Previously images were forced to 100% slot width which distorted portrait images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
              1.1.5<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Improved: Carousel now always shows exactly the number of columns selected in the gallery block. On mobile (< 480px) it forces 1 column. Removed intermediate breakpoint that was capping columns at 2 on tablets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                1.1.4<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Fixed: Carousel now fills its container div exactly, with no extra side padding \u2014 the container's own spacing is respected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                  1.1.3<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Fixed: Carousel slides now fit within screen width without truncation, with consistent padding between cards and screen edges.<\/li>\n
                  • Fixed: Overrides WordPress default gallery gap to prevent slides from being pushed off-screen.<\/li>\n
                  • Improved: Mobile view (< 480px) shows a single full-width card with proper padding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                    1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n
                      \n
                    • Added: elcwg-no-arrows<\/code> class to hide navigation arrows.<\/li>\n
                    • Added: elcwg-no-dots<\/code> class to hide navigation dots.<\/li>\n
                    • Added: elcwg-no-captions<\/code> class to hide image captions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                      1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n
                        \n
                      • Fixed: Added escaping to inline CSS output to prevent potential XSS vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                        1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
                          \n
                        • Added text animation delay setting.<\/li>\n
                        • Improved carousel responsiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
                          1.0.6<\/h4>\n\n
                            \n
                          • Fixed issues with more than 4 columns in gallery.<\/li>\n
                          • Fixed mobile issues with partial image sliding.<\/li>\n
                          • Renamed plugin to \"Effortless Carousel with Gallery\".<\/li>\n
                          • Removed parallax background functionality.<\/li>\n
                          • Updated settings page and documentation to focus on carousel and text animations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                              \n
