+# Microbridge 0.3.4 (2026-07-20)
+
+Hotfix so in-app updates resolve to the correct GitHub Release again.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Updater manifest rename:** the app and release pipeline now use
+  `update.json` instead of `latest.json`. GitHub’s
+  `/releases/latest/download/latest.json` redirect had stuck on an older
+  release asset, so Check for Updates could report a stale version.
+
+## Upgrade notes
+
+- No migration. Install this build (DMG or Homebrew) once; later updates use
+  the fixed manifest name.
+- Includes the v0.3.3 Integrations tile grid if you skipped that DMG.
+
+## Risk / notes
+
+- Older builds that still request `latest.json` may keep seeing a stale
+  manifest until upgraded manually once to `0.3.4` or newer.
