+## 0.7.0 — 2026-09-01
+
+Fifteen shaders that draw places instead of patterns, in two new families.
+The `pixel` family is real pixel art — every cell a whole number of device
+pixels, every colour one of a handful of stops, every move a whole cell on a
+sprite-sheet clock. The `scene` family paints islands, water and skies at
+hero quality: a marched ocean, rolling grassland, an atoll from above.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Five `pixel` shaders.** `pixel-sea` is a 16-bit seascape with a dithered
+  sky and the sun's reflection breaking into dashes; `pixel-isle` generates
+  one to three islands per seed, one hard biome per cell; `pixel-clouds`
+  marches terraced clouds past a hard sun; `pixel-fire` reproduces the Doom
+  fire's statistics without its feedback buffer; `pixel-rain` rains on a
+  sleeping skyline, one lit window at a time. All five share
+  `st_pixelSize()`, a new prelude helper that keeps every virtual cell a
+  whole number of device pixels.
+- **Ten `scene` shaders.** Islands: `lagoon` (an atoll from above),
+  `archipelago` (a nautical chart on a slow drift), `island` (sea to the
+  horizon, land in the haze), `shore` (the swash zone from above), and
+  `caldera` (a volcano at night, lit by its own veins). Heroes: `meadow`
+  (a silhouette flower field at golden hour), `blossom` (one flower, drawn
+  large, with a true phyllotaxis seed head), `hills` (grassland marched as a
+  heightfield), `swell` (open ocean marched so waves hide waves), and
+  `cumulus` (fair-weather cloud shaded by one extra sample).
+- **Colour presets.** A shader may declare `presets` — curated colour trios
+  with names. All fifteen new shaders ship four each. On the site, Randomise
+  picks between a shader's presets instead of rolling hues, and the picker
+  offers them as one-click starting points; every well stays individually
+  editable, and the share URL still carries plain colours.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **A canvas compiles when it is nearly in view.** `ShaderCanvas` used to
+  build its renderer the moment it mounted, so a page of cards paid for every
+  pipeline on load whether or not the reader ever scrolled that far. It now
+  waits until the canvas is within a screen of the viewport, and holds the
+  renderer once built — scrolling back over a card redraws it rather than
+  recompiling. `play` is unchanged and still decides when a built renderer
+  animates. A browser with no `IntersectionObserver` starts every canvas at
+  once, as before.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Lazy canvases start in the right play state.** A canvas with
+  `play="always"` no longer draws one frozen frame when it first comes near the
+  viewport. Hover, visible, and reduced-motion modes keep their existing
+  behaviour.
+- **One request per source image, however many canvases read it.** A grid
+  whose shaders share a photograph fetched that photograph once per canvas,
+  all in flight together and none of them able to use the others' response.
+  The fetch is now shared per URL; each canvas still decodes its own bitmap.
