+0.7.3 (2026-08-13)
+==================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+- ``Plot2D.add_circle_widget`` gains ``lock_center``: the centre is pinned and
+  only the radius is draggable. A grab on the ring body is refused at hit-test
+  time and falls through to the plot's own pan, so the hover cursor never
+  promises a move and the centre cannot drift. Use it when the centre is fixed by
+  the data — a ring on a power spectrum is centred on the DC term, and one nudged
+  off-centre silently corrupts every radius measured from it.
+
+
 0.7.2 (2026-08-03)
