New is a fix for a crash on macOS which occurred on exit. Additionally there are improvements for dragging entries to move / copy, Quick Unlock is automatically enabled when unlocked for Auto-Type or browser access, and the Auto-Type button and shortcut are disabled when the Auto-Type setting is disabled for the entry or group. Complete Changelog is available on https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/releases/tag/2.7.6
What’s the reason people prefer XC over the original keepass client? Is it just a different flavor of UI?
I can’t speak for others, but at least for me, I’m using XC on Manjaro Linux (don’t have Windows at home) and KeePass 2 on Windows at work. Personally I think, XC has a better overall workflows but I miss some features from KeePass 2 a lot. For example prefilled names for already existing custom fields, use of some AutoFill keywords, to name the most missed thing’s.
KeepassXC is a lot better integrated into Linux as KeePass 2 with Mono.
To my surprise, I don’t miss the WebDAV integration, since I’m using SFTP/sshFS at home.

You can absolutely use WebDAV also via LAN, if you want. All what you need is a NAS which supports this protocol. If it is on the NAS, it should be primary available in the local LAN. If the NAS is attached to your routers network, you can do port forwarding, to bring your WebDAV to the standard Internet and access it from everywhere. Just be sure to secure the server properly, to expose your data to the Internet. As an alternative, there are a lot of free WebDAV shares available in some Cloud packages. Take a look at GMX or Web.de in Germany for example or similar international providers. OneDrive works with WebDAV internally, but i have not find out the correct URL to use it directly. Dropbox and Google Drive doesn’t support WebDAV to my knowledge without Third-Party-Tools. Box.com has canceled WebDAV for new accounts.
Or do it my way, buy a Raspberry PI, setup your own server. The smallest one is absolute enough for a one person simple share.

WebDAV is not comparable to a public website. The only similarity is the http protocol. But this is also true for OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive. If you use a local RPi, try SFTP. This is significantly faster and makes less problems with date comparison during a sync. This doesn’t matter much for a Keepass DB with a rather small file size, but it does for comparable syncs.

If you use KeePass2Android, then WebDAV is built-in. If you use KeePassDX, I can recommend DavX5. You can integrate a WebDAV share in the standard Filesystem with that and open/save the keepass db like on a local filesystem. The last 2 are available for free on F-Droid.
I don’t know about people. :) I like the integration with browsers and I get my passwords with less typing and without touching the mouse (alt+tab to keepassxc, ctrl-f , enter search string, optionally select result entry with up/down, ctrl+c).
The issues with it, like the not-handling of display-DPI changes, I can accept in return for its advantages.
I can just say why I use the original over XC: WebDAV built-in. Still hoping for this to come to XC, bit last time I checked it was considered out of scope.
If you are thinking about moving to Keepass to avoid online password managers after the LasPass clsuterfuck: Get a cheap nextcloud hosted by some provider (e.g. Hetzner) and sync it using the nextcloud desktop or mobile client. Kee for Firefox takes care of browser integration. Had zero problems with this setup. 10/10 would do again.
A good decision. It saves on the installation and maintenance by your own.
