+## Unreleased
+
+* 🐛 Changed the minimum supported THEOplayer version to 7.6.0. ([#85](https://github.com/THEOplayer/android-ui/pull/85))
+  * This was effectively already the minimum version as of Open Video UI for Android version 1.7.2, but it wasn't noticed until now.
+  * Future versions will be properly tested with the minimum supported THEOplayer version to avoid similar compatibility issues.
+
 ## v1.13.2 (2026-03-03)
 
 * 🐛 Fixed `PictureInPictureButton` to only be shown when the backing `THEOplayerView` has a valid `PiPConfiguration`. ([#81](https://github.com/THEOplayer/android-ui/pull/81))
