 > For: a project that consumes `@usableapp/cardds` and its AI — what changed between versions, written as before → after, so a screen can be brought up to date without reading the source. Newest first. A consumer never edits cardds; if something here leaves you without a way to do what you did before, report the gap.

+
+- Gallery only (nothing changes in the package's components or CSS):
+  - The *layout* group is merged into *screen*: Walkthrough · Home · Install · Requests (the new EmptyState screen).
+  - A **Layout** button in Settings draws top · content · bottom on every fill screen.
+  - Layout, Boxes and Keyboard are buttons that switch themselves on and off (filled = on).
+
+## 0.6.11 — 2026-09-23
+
+### A small link under a foot's buttons: `CardFoot link` (new, like an ActionBar's `ctaLink`)
+- `CardFoot` has a new `link` slot: a `Link sm` on its own short row under the buttons, centred. It never shares the buttons'
+  line, and a sheet's foot strip grows by that row.
+- `CallSheet` passes it as `sheet.footLink`.
+- A `Link` put straight in a `CardFoot` is misuse: it takes a button's share and squeezes the button.
+
+### EmptyState, redone for the new anatomy
+- `Screen top={TopBar} › Step › EmptyState`. It is a component in the content and no longer sits in a `Centre` over the
+  screen.
+- Alone in a Step, it stands at the content's human centre (about 40% down).
+- The TopBar names the page; the EmptyState heading says what is (not) there.
+
 ## 0.6.10 — 2026-09-23
 
 ### New template: `CallSheet` (layout-3)
