 # Changelog
 
+## 0.3.1 - 2026-04-04
+
+- Compatibility with pi 0.65+: use `session_start` instead of legacy `session_switch` for automatic checks. See [pi-mono v0.65.0](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/releases/tag/v0.65.0).
+- Store cache and dismissed-version state in pi's configured agent directory.
+- Preserve `--no-session` mode when restarting after an update and show the correct manual restart hint.
+
+## Unreleased
+
+## 0.3.0 - 2026-03-23
+
+- Auto-restart pi after a successful update. Asks to restart, then seamlessly relaunches on the current session.
+- Falls back to manual restart message in non-interactive modes or if restart fails.
+- Cross-platform: uses `shell: true` on Windows to handle `.cmd` shims.
+- `/update --test` to simulate the full update flow without a real install.
+
 ## 0.2.9 - 2026-03-16
 
 - Keep startup checks cache-first and non-blocking.

 ## What it does
 
 **On startup:** if a newer version is available, shows a prompt:
-- **Update now** — install with npm, then restart pi
+- **Update now** — install with npm, then auto-restart pi on the current session
 - **Skip** — dismiss until next session
 - **Skip this version** — don't ask again until a newer version appears
 
+After a successful update, pi-updater asks whether to restart immediately. If confirmed, pi relaunches seamlessly on the current session. In non-interactive modes or if auto-restart fails, it falls back to a manual restart message. Ephemeral `--no-session` runs stay ephemeral on restart.
+
 **In the background (once per run):** performs one live npm check and can show the prompt in the same session when a new release is detected.
 
 **`/update`:** manually check for updates (always fetches fresh from npm, unless `PI_OFFLINE` is set).

 Use `/update` inside pi to manually check for updates and install them.
 
+Cache and dismissed-version state are stored in pi's configured agent directory and respect `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`.

 ## Environment flags
