 # Changelog
 
+## [2.6.0] - 2026-08-04
+
+### Changed
+- **Scroll display now runs on the core's shared implementation.** The orchestration half of `scroll_display.py` — scroll-helper configuration, frame pumping, completion, settings resolution, and native `global_config['target_fps']` support — moves to the core's `src.common.sports_scroll` (LEDMatrix 3.2.0). Only the soccer-specific content half stays here: game cards and league separator icons.
+- **Nothing changes on an older core.** The import is guarded: a core without `src.common.sports_scroll` falls back to `scroll_display_legacy.py` and the plugin behaves exactly as it did. The minimum core version is unchanged at 2.0.0 — the plugin does not *require* 3.2.0, it merely prefers it.
+- This lineage's scroll settings are preserved explicitly, since they differ from the shared defaults: a 24px gap rather than 48, `min_duration`/`max_duration` bounds of 30/300 (core's own default max is 600), and game cards pinned at 128px where core sizes them to the panel.
+- Three unused methods (`_get_scroll_speed`, `get_scroll_duration`, `has_content`) are not carried over — nothing called them. A redundant `set_scroll_speed()` call is also gone: the previous code set it twice, once in px/s and again in px/frame, and only the second took effect.
+- Verified byte-for-byte: all 24 safety-harness renders (8 panel sizes × 3 screens) are identical to 2.5.2.
