Release Date: July 2026

New Features: This release combines updates from Smart Display GUI Builder v0.8.5_WS and v0.8.6_WS. Version v0.8.5_WS adds support for custom decimal places in the Number Widget for the 7-inch 16MB Custom CAN ID series.

Support for Custom Decimal Places in Number Widget

Before: Decimal places could only be defined in the DBC file.
