+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+- Fixed resampling of FlowSystem to reset `hours_of_last_timestep` and `hours_of_previous_timesteps` properly
+
+### 👷 Development
+- Improved issue templates

+
+## [3.2.0] - 2025-10-26
+
+**Summary**: Enhanced plotting capabilities with consistent color management, custom plotting kwargs support, and centralized I/O handling.
+
+If upgrading from v2.x, see the [v3.0.0 release notes](https://github.com/flixOpt/flixOpt/releases/tag/v3.0.0) and [Migration Guide](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/user-guide/migration-guide-v3/).
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+**Color management:**
+- **`setup_colors()` method** for `CalculationResults` and `SegmentedCalculationResults` to configure consistent colors across all plots
+  - Group components by colorscales: `results.setup_colors({'CHP': 'reds', 'Storage': 'blues', 'Greys': ['Grid', 'Demand']})`
+  - Automatically propagates to all segments in segmented calculations
+  - Colors persist across all plot calls unless explicitly overridden
+- **Flexible color inputs**: Supports colorscale names (e.g., 'turbo', 'plasma'), color lists, or label-to-color dictionaries
+- **Cross-backend compatibility**: Seamless color handling for both Plotly and Matplotlib
+
+**Plotting customization:**
+- **Plotting kwargs support**: Pass additional arguments to plotting backends via `px_kwargs`, `plot_kwargs`, and `backend_kwargs` parameters
+- **New `CONFIG.Plotting` configuration section**:
+  - `default_show`: Control default plot visibility
+  - `default_engine`: Choose 'plotly' or 'matplotlib'
+  - `default_dpi`: Set resolution for saved plots
+  - `default_facet_cols`: Configure default faceting columns
+  - `default_sequential_colorscale`: Default for heatmaps (now 'turbo')
+  - `default_qualitative_colorscale`: Default for categorical plots (now 'plotly')
+
+**I/O improvements:**
+- Centralized JSON/YAML I/O with auto-format detection
+- Enhanced NetCDF handling with consistent engine usage
+- Better numeric formatting in YAML exports
+
+### ♻️ Changed
+- **Default colorscale**: Changed from 'viridis' to 'turbo' for better perceptual uniformity
+- **Color terminology**: Standardized from "colormap" to "colorscale" throughout for Plotly consistency
+- **Plotting internals**: Now use `xr.Dataset` as primary data type (DataFrames automatically converted)
+- **NetCDF engine**: Switched back to netcdf4 engine following xarray updates and performance benchmarks
+
+### 🔥 Removed
+- Removed unused `plotting.pie_with_plotly()` method
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+- Improved error messages when using `engine='matplotlib'` with multidimensional data
+- Better dimension validation in `results.plot_heatmap()`
+
+### 📝 Docs
+- Enhanced examples demonstrating `setup_colors()` usage
+- Updated terminology from "colormap" to "colorscale" in docstrings
+
+### 👷 Development
+- Fixed concurrency issue in CI
+- Centralized color processing logic into dedicated module
+- Refactored to function-based color handling for simpler API
+
+---
+
 ## [3.1.1] - 2025-10-20
 **Summary**: Fixed a bug when acessing the `effects_per_component` dataset in results without periodic effects.
