 Full release notes for all Utilix surfaces (browser tools, REST API, SDKs, MCP server) live at [utilix.tech/changelog](https://utilix.tech/changelog). This file tracks just this package.
 
+## 0.76.0
+- Add `detect_wordy_phrases` tool: scan text against a curated table of wordy/redundant phrases ("due to the fact that", "in order to") and flag each occurrence with a suggested concise replacement, an occurrence count, and character offsets.
+- Add `check_oxford_comma_consistency` tool: scan a document for comma-before-and/or usage in three-or-more-item lists and flag documents that mix Oxford comma styles.
+
 ## 0.75.0
 - Add `verify_webhook_signature` tool: recompute an HMAC over a raw webhook payload and compare it to a provided signature, supporting the `sha256=` prefix style (Stripe/GitHub-style webhooks) plus raw hex or base64 encoding.
 - Add `estimate_data_transfer_time` tool: estimate the theoretical time to transfer a file over a connection of a given speed, or the reverse: the bandwidth required to hit a target time.
