+## [4.17.0] - 2026-07-02
+
+### Added
+
+- New `SubtitleOverlayConfig.enableCea608CaptionPositioning` flag (default `true`): by default, the player UI applies CEA-608 grid-based row/column positioning to Closed Captions. Setting this to `false` disables that positioning so that 608/708 captions are laid out like regular VTT subtitles, while CEA-608-specific text formatting remains independently controlled via `enableCea608CaptionFormatting`.
+- `UIConfig.enableTimestampDeepLink` to enable sharing of current playback position.
+  - Shows a `PlayerContextMenu` option to copy the current link with the current time.
+  - Applies the timestamp deep link on first `SourceLoaded` and seeks to the target time (`t=<seconds>[s]`).
+- `UIConfig.componentConfigOverrides` and `UIComponentConfigOverrides` to configure default UI components without rebuilding complete UI layouts through the `UIFactory`.
+- `UIVariantIdentifier` to scope component config overrides to individual default UI variants.
+- `ToggleSettingsPanelItem` for settings rows that toggle their nested `ToggleButton` when the row is selected.
+- `UIConfig.enablePersistentPreferences` and `UIConfig.showPersistentPreferencesToggle` to configure whether the UI persists volume, mute state, and playback speed across sessions.
+
+## [4.16.1] - 2026-06-25
+
+### Added
+
+- `UIVariantFactory` to lazily resolve UI variants only when they are selected.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Production builds now preserve public component class names during minification.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Seeking with the remote on the TV UI no longer gets stuck at the start or end of the seek bar: after scrubbing all the way to one edge, pressing the opposite direction now moves the playback position immediately instead of requiring multiple presses.
+- Settings panels with disabled automatic hiding no longer crash when component view mode changes are dispatched.
+- Settings panel items no longer render an empty label when no label config is provided.
