This release resolves the persistent **ORA-06550 compilation errors** that users experienced when executing PL/SQL blocks containing BEGIN...END; statements.

- **#126**: Constant Oracle query error: ORA-06550 when using a BEGIN/END; block

**Problem**: The query processing logic automatically removed trailing semicolons from ALL queries to prevent `ORA-00933` errors with regular SQL statements. However, PL/SQL blocks **require** semicolons for proper compilation.

**Solution**: Implemented intelligent PL/SQL block detection that:
- ✅ **Preserves semicolons** for PL/SQL blocks (required for compilation)
- ✅ **Removes semicolons** for regular SQL statements (prevents ORA-00933)
- ✅ **Maintains full backward compatibility**

Now works perfectly with all PL/SQL scenarios:

```sql
-- ✅ Simple anonymous blocks
BEGIN
    NULL;
END;

-- ✅ Blocks with procedures
BEGIN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello World');
END;

-- ✅ Blocks with bind variables
BEGIN
    :result := 'Success';
END;

-- ✅ DECLARE blocks
DECLARE
    v_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_count FROM dual;
END;

-- ✅ Stored procedure calls
BEGIN
    get_employee_name(:emp_id, :emp_name);
END;
```

- **dotenv**: `^17.2.1` → `^17.2.3`
- **gulp-eslint-new**: `^2.1.0` → `^2.5.0`

- Added 4 comprehensive PL/SQL-specific test cases
- All 10 tests passing with 100% success rate
- Verified compatibility with updated dependencies

- Integrated troubleshooting section in README
- Updated documentation with fix information and examples
- Comprehensive error resolution guidance

- Clean build with zero ESLint errors
- Optimized package size: 13.2 kB compressed (47.6 kB unpacked)
- Production-ready with proper file exclusions

If you were experiencing ORA-06550 errors:

1. **Update to v0.7.6**: `npm update node-red-contrib-oracledb-mod`
2. **Restore proper semicolons** to your PL/SQL blocks if you removed them as a workaround
3. **Use `"single-meta"` result action** for blocks with OUT parameters
4. **Test your flows** - they should now work without errors

✅ **Fully backward compatible** - all existing flows continue to work exactly as before.
