7.0.0-dev.1 (2025-11-01)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• triggers_update: triggers_update is deprecated and will not have any
  effect if set. Entities are discovered automatically. If there is no
  suitable entities in your configuration, consider using update_timer
  to update the card on interval.
• variables: variables are only evaluated if they are "used" so
  hacks using variables to run javascript code during card init for eg.
  should read the updated documentation section. It is still possible with
  the force_eval variables configuration option.
