? New Features & Improvements

### Mega Menu Enhancements

Navigation continues to be a core part of the Astroid experience. In this release, we’ve expanded the Mega Menu capabilities with new visual effects and configuration options.

1. **New Mega Menu dropdown effects**
You can now choose from several animation styles to better match your site’s design and user experience:
- Fade
- Zoom
- Slide
- Drop
- Flip
- ScaleY
- Blur-in
- Slide-scale
- None

2. **Mega Menu Backdrop toggle**
A new option allows you to enable or disable the Mega Menu backdrop, giving you greater control over how dropdown menus visually interact with the rest of the page.

3. **Improved hover detection on hybrid devices**
Interaction events have been refined for devices that support both touch and mouse input, resulting in smoother and more predictable menu behavior.

4. **Removed stagger effect when animation is set to “none”**
When animation is disabled, the menu now appears instantly without unnecessary transition delays.
