## Changelog

#### 1.0.41

 * Fixed: Flex mode now responsive — 2 columns on tablet, 1 column on mobile for
   all column counts

#### 1.0.40

 * New: Image Padding control added to main gallery widget Style  Image section

   option; use column count = 1 for single-column instead
 * Improvement: Display control now only shows Grid and Flex (both column-aware),
   with description note

#### 1.0.39

 * Fixed: Social icon first item always blank — root cause was ICONS control inside

   Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord,
   Dribbble, Behance, Vimeo, Snapchat, Email, Website, Link

 * Fixed: Grid flex display — column_display and column_align selectors used {{UNIT}}
   instead of {{VALUE}}, display was never applied
 * Fixed: Grid default changed from repeat(1,1fr) to repeat(3,1fr) to match the 
   default 3-column setting
