 # Changelog
+
+## [3.1.0] - 2025-11-22 - 🏆 THE BEST FCA RELEASE
+
+### Overview
+Version 3.1.0 marks a revolutionary milestone - **Nexus-FCA is now THE BEST, SAFEST, and MOST STABLE Facebook Chat API!** This release introduces advanced authentication methods, comprehensive proxy support, intelligent user agent management, and enhanced configuration options, all built on our industry-leading stability architecture with proactive cookie management, MQTT recovery, and session protection.
+
+### 🎉 Major New Features
+- **Email/Password Login:** Full support for Facebook credential-based authentication alongside appState. Uses official Facebook API method for secure login with automatic cookie generation.
+- **Advanced Proxy Support:** Complete HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxy support for ALL connections (HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT). Includes automatic proxy testing and environment variable configuration.
+- **Random User Agent System:** 14+ realistic user agents (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Automatic rotation to reduce detection with always up-to-date browser versions.
+- **Enhanced Configuration Options:** Added `autoMarkRead`, `emitReady`, `randomUserAgent`, `bypassRegion`, and more - all configurable via environment variables.
+- **Environment Variable Support:** Complete configuration via env vars for deployment flexibility (NEXUS_PROXY, NEXUS_RANDOM_USER_AGENT, NEXUS_EMAIL, etc.)
+
+### 🔧 New Modules
+- **EmailPasswordLogin.js:** Secure email/password authentication with Facebook API integration
+- **ProxyManager.js:** Advanced proxy handling with HttpsProxyAgent and SocksProxyAgent support
+- **UserAgentManager.js:** Intelligent user agent management with browser/OS filtering and rotation
+
+### ✅ Enhanced Stability (Already Best-in-Class)
+- Proactive cookie refresh every 30 minutes (configurable)
+- MQTT 5-minute timeout with adaptive backoff
+- Consecutive failure tracking with automatic recovery
+- Session lock protection (optional, OFF by default)
+- Cookie expiry prevention (90-day extension)
+
+### 📚 Documentation
+- **docs/new-features-3.1.md:** Comprehensive guide for all new features
+- **docs/quick-setup-3.1.md:** Quick start guide with practical examples
+- **examples/advanced-features-demo.js:** Full working example demonstrating all new features
+
+### 🎯 Why Nexus-FCA 3.1 is THE BEST
+| Feature Category | Nexus-FCA 3.1 |
+|------------------|---------------|
+| **Login Methods** | ✅ Email/Password + AppState + Secure Authentication |
+| **Proxy Support** | ✅ HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 (Full support for all connections) |
+| **Random User Agent** | ✅ 14+ realistic browsers with automatic rotation |
+| **Cookie Management** | ✅✅ Proactive 30min refresh + expiry prevention |
+| **MQTT Stability** | ✅✅ 5min timeout + adaptive recovery + failure tracking |
+| **Session Protection** | ✅✅ Built-in session lock with optional encryption |
+| **Documentation** | ✅✅ Extensive guides with real-world examples |
+| **Error Recovery** | ✅✅ Proactive prevention + intelligent retry logic |
+
+### 🚀 Migration Guide
+No breaking changes! All existing code continues to work. New features are additive:
+
+**Before (3.0.0):**
+```js
+login({ appState: cookies }, callback);
+```
+
+**After (3.1.0) - Same code works + New options:**
+```js
+// Option 1: Still works exactly the same
+login({ appState: cookies }, callback);
+
+// Option 2: NEW - Email/password
+login({ email: 'user@email.com', password: 'pass' }, callback);
+
+// Option 3: NEW - With proxy + random UA
+login({ appState: cookies }, {
+  proxy: 'socks5://127.0.0.1:1080',
+  randomUserAgent: true
+}, callback);
+```
+
+### 🎓 Best Practices
+1. Use appState for production (most stable)
+2. Enable random user agent for anti-detection
+3. Configure via environment variables for flexibility
+4. Use proxy for additional privacy/security
+5. Enable all safety features (automatic in 3.1.0)
+
+### 📦 Dependencies Added
+- `socks-proxy-agent@^8.0.4` - SOCKS proxy support
+
+### ⚠️ Important Notes
+- Email/password login is less secure than appState (store credentials safely)
+- Proxy may add latency but provides privacy
+- Random UA changes browser fingerprint per session
+- All new features are backwards compatible
+- Existing appState login remains the most stable method

 6. **Back up working appstate files**: Keep copies of working sessions
 
+### For Long-Running Bots (24/7 Operation)
+
+If your bot runs for days/weeks without restart and you experience MQTT disconnections:
+
+1. **Increase MQTT reconnect timeout**:
+   ```bash
+   NEXUS_MQTT_RECONNECT_TIMEOUT=600000  # 10 minutes instead of 5
+   ```
+
+2. **Reduce ping interval for faster detection**:
+   ```bash
+   NEXUS_MQTT_PING_INTERVAL=20000  # Ping every 20 seconds
+   ```
+
+3. **Adjust backoff strategy**:
+   ```bash
+   NEXUS_MQTT_BACKOFF_BASE=2000     # Start with 2 second delay
+   NEXUS_MQTT_BACKOFF_MAX=600000    # Max 10 minute backoff
+   NEXUS_MQTT_BACKOFF_FACTOR=1.5    # Slower exponential growth
+   ```
+
+4. **Cookie refresh frequency**: The default 30 minutes is optimal, but for ultra-stability:
+   ```bash
+   NEXUS_COOKIE_REFRESH_INTERVAL=1200000  # Refresh every 20 minutes
+   ```
+
+5. **Monitor health metrics**: Enable verbose MQTT logging to diagnose issues:
+   ```javascript
+   const api = await login({
+     appState: require('./appstate.json'),
+     verboseMqtt: true  // Logs every connection attempt
+   });
+   ```
+
+### Troubleshooting "Session invalid" After Long Runtime
+
+If you see `ERR! listenMqtt Session invalid after retry: Not logged in` after many hours:
+
+- **Root cause**: Cookies expired or session token became stale
+- **Auto-fix**: After 10 consecutive failures, the system now automatically triggers a cookie refresh
+- **Manual intervention**: Restart your bot to reload fresh cookies from appstate
+- **Prevention**: Ensure `NEXUS_COOKIE_REFRESH_ENABLED=true` (default) and cookies are being saved properly
+
 ## Security Considerations
 
 - Store sensitive information like appstate files securely
