 ## v0.3
+### v0.3.2 (2021-mm-dd)
+#### Bugfixes
+- Fixed PowerShell output regression introduced in v0.2.13, whoops
+#### Other
+- Nicer version output: `fif -V` reports "fif v0.3.2" (instead of just "fif 0.3.2" without the "v"), and `fif --version`
+  reports `fif v0.3.2 (XDG-Mime backend)`, or whatever backend you're using.
+
 ### v0.3.1 (2021-07-06)
 #### Features
 - Added JSON output support via `-o json`
