+# Slopify 3.11.6
+
+Released 6 October 2026.
+
+- **Loud bursts come down further, quiet passages stay quiet.** Level the volume takes the narration phrase by phrase twice now. After the first pass lowers the phrases that burst out, the narration's loud words are quieter too, so a chunk's opening still stood above them; the second pass holds it to them. Whispers and low passages are never raised, and the export is still mastered to your target, so normal speech plays as loud as before. Videos rendered from now on get it.
