v8.1.0

8.1.0 (2026-08-22)

NOTE: You will not see auto reload toast until the next update after you update to 8.1.0. This is due to devices showing toast using the previous UIX version code.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• entity image override for ha-user-badge not working since Home Assistant 2026.7. For ha-user-badge and ha-person-badge, use inserted div.picture.uix-image and style existing div.picture as hidden while overridden to stop flickering. (a25b9e3)
• Multiple template subscriptions may be created for same UIX Styling node when Home Assistant app is suspended and restored in Browser. This causes multiple updates to the UIX Styling node when the template updates which may cause visual artifacts and will add up to a small resource increase over time. (#540) (791ea08)
• Support whitespace padding in billet interpolation braces and list indices (#530) (26c266e), references #503
• UIX styling of toast removed if another stacked toast message subsequently shows. (#536) (04e89d1)

⚙️ Miscellaneous

• Use js-yaml directly to load theme YAML rather than loading ha-yaml-editor via surrogate tools event tab. (#520) (b014858), references #518
