+## [1.3.1] - 2026-07-30
+
+This hotfix improves filename handling, localized display details, and release reliability across platforms.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Prevent filename errors for long downloads and Windows-reserved names such as `CON` and `COM1`. Names are shortened safely while keeping their file extensions, addressing [#29](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/issues/29).
+- Correct Persian date formatting in affected settings and timezone cases, while preserving Hebrew locale formatting.
+- Fix remaining light-theme overlay and contrast details reported with the broader appearance and localization work in [#31](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/issues/31).
+
+### Improvements
+
+- Make Linux AppImage packaging more reliable and avoid compiling the same Rust release binary twice.
+- Strengthen cross-platform release checks so Windows and Linux test builds handle macOS-only code correctly.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+- Firelink Companion `2.1.0` remains the current compatible extension. No extension update is required for this hotfix; use the [latest Companion release](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink-Extension/releases/latest).

 ## [1.3.0] - 2026-07-29
 
 This release focuses on smoother queue control, a more comfortable interface, and safer recovery when downloads or browser handoffs are interrupted.

+Linux `.deb` and `.rpm` packages are built with the complete verified engine payload. The AppImage is bundled separately with the engine resource excluded from the initial Linux packaging pass, then repacked from the verified payload because the AppImage tooling can rewrite bundled native binaries.
 
 yt-dlp must remain its official PyInstaller **onedir** distribution: launcher plus adjacent `_internal` runtime. Onefile builds are rejected because repeated extraction caused roughly 17-second startup latency.
