 # Changelog

+## 2026-04-12 - 3.76.0 - feat(input)
+separate label info tooltips from description text across input components
+
+- adds a dedicated infoText property for dees-label tooltips while keeping description available for helper text rendered below inputs
+- introduces a shared renderDescription() helper in the input base component and updates multiple input components to use the unified description styling
+- updates demos and consuming components to migrate tooltip content from description to infoText where appropriate
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.75.0 - feat(dees-tile)
+add configurable overscroll handling to tile content and use it in modals
+
+- introduces a reflected overscroll property on dees-tile with contain, auto, and none options
+- moves tile content scrolling and scrollbar styling into dees-tile instead of modal-specific styling
+- updates dees-modal to enable contained overscroll through the new dees-tile API
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.74.2 - fix(modal,tile,input-text)
+move scroll handling from tile content to modal and update input text demo to use changeSubject subscriptions
+
+- bump @design.estate/dees-wcctools from ^3.8.2 to ^3.8.4
+- set dees-tile content overflow to hidden and apply scroll styling through dees-modal part selectors
+- simplify the interactive dees-input-text demo by subscribing directly to changeSubject for live value updates
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.74.1 - fix(dees-input-text)
+adjust password toggle and validation icon alignment in text input
+
+- positions the password toggle and validation icon with fixed top offsets for improved vertical alignment
+- updates the validation icon styling to use a larger themed icon without the circular background
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.74.0 - feat(input-text)
+add validated success state and text editing context menu to text inputs
+
+- show a delayed checkmark confirmation for successful validation and hide inline validation text afterward
+- move IBAN validation handling into the shared text input validation function
+- improve the email validation demo to use a stricter regex-based check
+- add cut, copy, paste, and select-all context menu actions for text inputs
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.73.2 - fix(input,label)
+correct validation state attribute handling in text inputs and refine label description icon styling
+
+- Change dees-input-text validationState to reflect as a string attribute and align validation selectors with the emitted host attribute
+- Wrap the dees-label description icon in a dedicated container to improve sizing, hover feedback, and alignment
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.73.1 - fix(dees-label)
+align label content and icon consistently using inline flex layout
+
+- change the label container from inline-block to inline-flex with centered alignment
+- remove icon-specific vertical transform in favor of layout-based alignment
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.73.0 - feat(dees-label)
+expand dees-label demo coverage and update supporting dependencies
+
+- replace the minimal dees-label demo with a structured showcase for basic, required, description, combined, and empty-label states
+- add themed demo styling and inline annotations to better document component behavior
+- update @design.estate/dees-wcctools, lucide, and @types/node dependency versions
+
+## 2026-04-12 - 3.72.1 - fix(dees-stepper)
+improve stepper exit animation timing for cancel confirmation flow
+
+- Animate step tiles downward with fade-out during teardown instead of only fading the container
+- Delay stepper destruction briefly after dismissing the confirmation modal so both exit transitions render smoothly
+- Increase teardown delay to match the updated exit animation duration
+
+## 2026-04-11 - 3.72.0 - feat(dees-stepper)
+add configurable cancellation flow with confirmation modal
+
+- adds a cancelable option to control whether steppers can be dismissed
+- shows a confirmation modal when canceling via the new Cancel button or overlay backdrop
+- updates footer button rendering and separators to support the new cancel action consistently
+
+## 2026-04-11 - 3.71.1 - fix(dees-modal)
+move modal content scrolling into dees-tile so long content stays scrollable with pinned header and actions
+
+- Update dees-tile content area to use vertical scrolling when constrained by a max-height while keeping horizontal overflow clipped.
+- Remove duplicate scrolling styles from dees-modal and rely on the shared tile container behavior.
+- Add modal demo cases for long article, list, and form content to verify internal scrolling.
+
 ## 2026-04-11 - 3.71.0 - feat(dees-stepper)
 add footer menu actions with form-aware step validation
