🗓️ This is a weekly release. Minor version numbers advance with time, not with features: a new minor is not a feature milestone. Nightly previews are published between weekly releases as -nightly pre-releases.

Installation:

:::bash
go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.1.0

Tip: always pin an exact version (e.g. @v3.1.0) in go.mod and CI rather than @latest.
