 # @wdio/image-comparison-core
 
+## 1.2.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 994f4da: ## #857 Support ignore regions for web screenshots
+
+  Add `ignore` support to all web screenshot methods (`saveScreen`/`checkScreen`, `saveElement`/`checkElement`, `saveFullPageScreen`/`checkFullPageScreen`) so that specified elements can be blocked out during visual comparison. This brings web parity with the native-app ignore-region support that already existed.
+
+  ### Changes
+
+  - **Ignore regions for full-page screenshots:** new `determineWebFullPageIgnoreRegions` function that calculates ignore-region rectangles for full-page screenshots, including a `fullPageCropTopPaddingCSS` correction for mobile scroll-and-stitch scenarios where the address-bar shadow padding shifts element positions
+  - **Consolidated `ignoreRegionPadding`:** moved `ignoreRegionPadding` into `BaseWebScreenshotOptions` so it is inherited by all web methods instead of being duplicated per method
+  - **Fix `isAndroidNativeWebScreenshot` type:** ensure `nativeWebScreenshot` is always a boolean (was accidentally an object for LambdaTest capabilities), preventing ignore-region DPR scaling failures
+  - **Fix viewport rounding for mobile:** restore `Math.round()` in `injectWebviewOverlay` and remove `Math.min` clamping in `getMobileViewPortPosition` to prevent 1-pixel crop shifts during full-page stitching
+  - **Fix `scrollElementIntoView` for scrolled pages:** account for `currentPosition` (existing scroll offset) when computing the target scroll position, so elements are scrolled into view correctly when the page is already scrolled
+  - **Dismiss Chrome Start Surface on Android:** when Chrome's tab-overview UI blocks the webview overlay, automatically press the Android Back button (up to 4 retries) to restore the active tab before measuring the viewport
+  - **Add hybrid status bar blockout:** on hybrid apps the statusbar was not blocked out which could result in flaky tests regarding battery and reception
