 ## Status
 
-v0.3.0 is the current stable release, paired with iPad TestFlight build 143.
-Its Windows installer is unchanged from v0.3.0-rc.1. On 2026-09-24 it passed the automated tests
-on a reference PC with GeForce RTX 5080 and Radeon graphics and on a physical
-iPad Pro.
-Those included 30-minute runs at about 58 fps, one over Wi-Fi at 3440×1440 and
-one over USB at 2732×2048. Testers are now checking what needs hands on the
-device, such as drawing in Clip Studio Paint and audio sync.
-[docs/hardware-verification.md](docs/hardware-verification.md) has every result,
-including the failures.
+v0.3.1 includes Intel Quick Sync startup fixes, hardware encoder fallback,
+audio scheduling improvements and automatic support diagnostics. Install it
+with iPad TestFlight v0.3.1, build 166.
+
+Windows and iPad diagnostics include device details, app errors and stream
+statistics. Reports include PC names and network addresses, but exclude screen
+content, audio and pairing credentials. Disable automatic sharing in Settings.
+On iPad, open Settings > Support > Diagnostics to copy or export a report.
+
+All six release preparation checks passed, including Windows, macOS and iPad
+simulator streaming. The affected Windows 10 / Intel Iris Xe device and physical
+iPad Pro M5 still need customer testing. Earlier physical-device results remain
