 # @dangerousthings/react-native
 
+## 0.5.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 28937ea: DTCard: draw the frame with Views instead of full-height SVGs so tall cards render correctly.
+
+  react-native-svg draws a tall `Svg` progressively lower the taller it is (about 3px at 1200dp
+  and 10px at 3800dp on a Pixel 7a), while a plain View lands exactly on its layout box. The
+  card frame, drawn as three full-height SVG overlays, therefore slid down relative to the
+  header on tall cards and opened a black notch in the top-left corner where the border and
+  progress strip should meet the header.
+
+  Every straight edge and the progress strip are now absolutely positioned Views driven by
+  layout, with no measurement dependency, and SVG is used only for the two beveled bottom
+  corners (16–32dp, which cannot drift measurably). The bottom-right corner is split into a
+  background layer under the content and an accent band over it, so content reaching into
+  the bevel is no longer painted over. Adjacent pieces overlap by 1dp under the layers drawn
+  on top to avoid sub-pixel seams. No API change; the classic (non-bevel) branch is untouched.
+
