Woomark Image Gallery

Version 2.7.2: 27 October 2026

• Thumbnails no longer look oversized and blurry in the fluid grid when an older site keeps a small Thumb Width: one sharper srcset copy sized for the column count is generated (never larger than the source).
• srcset w values now give each generated file's real pixel width.
• The sizes attribute now matches the grid breakpoints and column count.
• Thumb Width now has a field description explaining the automatic sharp copy.

Version 2.7: 19 October 2026

• Runs on Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 with the Behaviour - Backward Compatibility plugin disabled.
• The editor button loads through the web asset manager.
