+Scenic 3.1.0
+------------
+
+Major new features:
+
+	* New MetaDrive simulator interface for running Scenic scenarios in MetaDrive (see :mod:`scenic.simulators.metadrive`).
+
+	* Added a new experimental sensors API with support for CARLA and MetaDrive (see :ref:`Sensors Reference <sensors>`).
+
+	* Extended the :keyword:`record` statement to support saving time-series data directly to files via the ``to`` clause, see :ref:`recordFolder` for details.
+
+	* Introduced :ref:`wait for <wait for {scalar} (seconds | steps)>` and :ref:`wait until <wait until {boolean}>`, which work like :ref:`do ... for <do {behavior/scenario}, {...} for {scalar} (seconds | steps)>` and :ref:`do ... until <do {behavior/scenario}, {...} until {boolean}>` but advance the scenario without taking any actions.
+
+Minor new features:
+
+	* Improved Scenic support for ``str``/``int``/``float`` conversions and type checking; these names are now reserved and can't be reassigned.
+
+	* Added a :prop:`render` property to :class:`~scenic.core.object_types.Object` to let objects opt out of the internal visualizer, and fixed handling of face colors for object meshes.
+
+	* Improved visual accuracy in the Newtonian physics simulator and added a ``debugRender`` visualization option (see :mod:`scenic.simulators.newtonian.driving_model`).
+
+	* Added support for Python 3.13.
+
+	* :class:`~scenic.simulators.carla.actions.SetAutopilotAction` now accepts optional CARLA Traffic Manager settings (ignoring signs/lights/walkers, automatic lane changes, target speed/route, and speed-limit offsets).
+
+	* Added pedestrian movement support in the Newtonian physics simulator.
+
+	* Expanded tested compatibility with CARLA to include version 0.9.16 (Scenic has been tested with CARLA 0.9.9–0.9.16).
+
+	* Added :meth:`Network.shoulderAt <scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.shoulderAt>` and :meth:`Network.sidewalkAt <scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.sidewalkAt>`, updated :meth:`Network.elementAt <scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.elementAt>` to return shoulders and sidewalks, and added a ``showCurbArrows`` option to :meth:`~scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.show` for visualizing curb orientation in 2D plots.
+
+Notable bug fixes:
+
+	* Fixed :meth:`Network.roadDirection <scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.roadDirection>` and :meth:`Network.nominalDirectionsAt <scenic.domains.driving.roads.Network.nominalDirectionsAt>` so objects on shoulders or inside intersections inherit the correct maneuver heading instead of defaulting to 0.
+
+	* Fixed the default :prop:`velocity` of :class:`~scenic.core.object_types.Object` so it now derives from :prop:`speed` and :prop:`orientation`, as previously documented, instead of always being :scenic:`(0, 0, 0)`.
