+### Gallery Control Implementation
+The Gallery control is a new v1.3 feature for displaying collections with customizable templates:

+**Key Features:**
+- Inherits from CommonControl with ListView-like behavior
+- Custom box templates with positioning and styling
+- Support for paging and virtualization
+- Gallery-specific attributes: `image-width`, `image-height`, `box-width`, `box-height`
+- Data binding support with custom properties and fields
+
+**Files Updated:**
+- `Definitions/abstract-controls.xml` - Gallery control definition and related structures
+- `ui-layout-basic-controls.xsd` - Gallery schema types and validation rules
+- `README.md` - Documentation and usage examples
+
 ### v1.3 Enhancements
 - Advanced state management with Redux/MobX patterns
 - Comprehensive accessibility framework (WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA)

+### Recent Updates
+- **Gallery Control Added**: New Gallery control in `abstract-controls.xml` and `ui-layout-basic-controls.xsd`
+- **Namespace Fixes**: Corrected namespace declarations in `abstract-controls.xml` 
+- **Schema Validation**: All files now validate successfully against their schemas
+- **Documentation Updated**: README.md includes Gallery control examples and validation status
 
 When working with this codebase, always validate XML against schemas and ensure new features follow the established patterns for platform abstraction and modular design.
