Release notes
# Release 1.3.1 – November 2025
## 🎉 Highlights
- **Ubuntu DEB Package is Back!**: Great news for Ubuntu users—starting with this release, official `.deb` packages are back! Installing and updating on Ubuntu is now simpler than ever.
- **Website Overhaul**: The plugin's website and documentation have migrated from SvelteKit to [Astro](https://astro.build/)! The site is now faster, easier to maintain, and features updated download links and documentation.
- **Cleaner Downloads**: The download instructions are clearer and easier to follow. We now point all users to central download locations for simplicity.
- **Simplified Docs**: We've trimmed the README and documentation to be more concise. Linux and build instructions are now maintained in one place, and uninstall steps plus advanced usage were moved online.
- **Community Support 🚀**: Looking for help? Join us in **GitHub Discussions**—our Discord link has been retired in favor of a more transparent and open support channel.
## 🛠️ Build & CI Improvements
- **CI Now Builds and Publishes Releases**: GitHub Actions workflow is now fully active! Project artifacts and debug symbols are automatically created for each new release.
- **Scheduled Website Updates**: The new website auto-builds daily to stay up to date.
- **Up-to-date Shields**: All project badges and status shields in the README now reference the main [`royshil/obs-backgroundremoval`](https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval) repository (not forks or unrelated projects).
